[Vision2020] Suspect arrested in JonBenet Ramsey case

I agree that there are a way too many people in prision. There are ways to reduse this level. A stronger effort should be made in the aera's of drug education and rehabliitation, both in schools and in prision. Job training should  also be incrreased to get people out of prision and into productive jobs. There are other ways of dealing with people that are not a threat to society beside locking them up. Keeping someone in prision is exstemely expensive. For those who have commited white coller crime, confiscating all their worldly posessions would be a better punishment. Sex offenders annd others that pose a physical threat should never be released.I also abhour the atitutude  of guilty untill proven inocent.
