ohio facing its prisoners' issues

Ohio has begun looking at alternatives to forcing convicted defendants to serving hard time in prison. Its prisons are overflowing, and the State has no idea how many parollees it has. As a result, legislators, executives, and judges have created a proposal for restructuring the correctional program --- meaning, actually providing more instructions and programs to CORRECT the behavior of the defendant, as opposed to housing them for years at a time. This is a good step in the right direction.
