Answer 1

Answer:Front-end strategies

Explanation:

Solutions to Prison Overcrowding

Prisons are too overcrowded and three solutions have been proposed which is adminstrative response , front-end-strategies and back-end-strategies.

Adminstrative responses refers to building more prisons but this is an expensive approach.

Front-end-strategies is a process of reducing the number of new people entering into the prison system .

The best front end strategy is preventing crime from happening from the start as the saying goes prevention is better that cure.

Front-end-strategy also encourages considering other form of punishment apart from incarceration. A person may do community service as an alternative sentence especially people who have committed petty crimes ,this is called creating diversion programs.

Back-end strategies this means a person get released before the end of their sentence based on their good behaviour or change that has been observed.
