3. In your own words, explain the phrase "widening the net means. What might be
wariber [46]

When we talk about "widening the net" in terms of the correction system, this refers to the idea that, the more offenders that are in the community, the more the correction system can control and surveil the community.

However, increasing the number of offenders who are supervised by corrections officers might have some negative unintended consequences. For example, such an approach could increase the number of offenders who are found to be violating the terms of their parole or committing crimes. Another consequence would be the loss of resources, as higher levels of resources would be needed to carry this out.

What is one thing the Federal Government system can do to ease Mass Incarceration?
Trava [24]

Answer:

*Eliminate prison for lower-level crimes

Explanation: Prison is often the default criminal justice sanction when someone breaks the law. It shouldn’t be that way. For those who commit a lower-level crime like drug possession, petty theft, or selling marijuana, prison is not just unfair, it is also a bad sanction for society at large.Prison costs $31,000 a year per prisoner, and often does little to prevent re-offense for these crimes. Probation, treatment, or community service are all more appropriate for many lower-level crimes, not to mention much cheaper (probation is 10 times less expensive). State legislatures and Congress should change sentencing laws to make alternatives to prison the default penalty for certain lower-level crimes, like drug possession and petty theft.

*Reduce sentence minimums and maximums currently on the books

Explanation: If someone commits a serious crime, like robbery, they should be punished. But there’s little evidence that staying in prison for such long periods of time, such as the 20 or 30-year sentences imposed, will rehabilitate prisoners. In fact, research indicates that longer stays in prison do not lead to lower recidivism. Sometimes, longer stays can even increase recidivism. With prison stays growing longer each year, lawmakers should consider reducing the time many inmates spend behind bars when it’s not necessary. State and federal legislatures should reduce the minimum and maximum sentencing guidelines, and make them more proportional to the crimes committed. We suggest in the report that legislators consider a 25 percent cut as a starting point for the six major crimes (aggravated assault, drug trafficking, murder, non-violent weapons offenses, robbery and serious burglary) that make up the bulk of the nation’s current prison population. This will make our system smarter while still protecting public safety.

*Prosecutors should seek lower penalties when appropriate

Explanation: Prosecutors should use their discretion to implement the recommendations in our report. Their sentencing recommendations should not simply aim to put defendants behind bars for the longest time possible. The best way to keep us all safe is for prosecutors to seek the most proportional punishment – one that fits the crime — not simply the harshest one.

*Eliminate “Three Strikes Laws” and “Truth in Sentencing”

Explanation: Both policies take away the ability of judges to properly asses the appropriate sentence for defendants in the criminal justice system. We should trust our judges to make these decisions instead of forcing an inappropriate sentence with set-in-stone rules.

*Reinvest savings into crime prevention polices

Explanation: The recommendations in the recent Brennan Center report would save almost $20 billion dollars a year. We should reinvest those savings into police, schools, and reentry programs, which will help improve public safety even more. $20 billion could cover 270,000 police officers, 327,000 teachers, or 360,000 probation officers. Most experts agree that these investments better prevent crime than prison.
