Topic: Mass Incarceration
ID Problem: The U.S. justice system faces issues of mass incarceration, causing overcrowded prisons and high recidivism rates.
ID Solution: Restorative justice, abolish mandatory minimums, more rehabilitation.
Thesis Statement: To believe that mass incarceration can be solved in the United States, is a problem that must be attacked on multiple levels. Economist terms for Restorative justice programs, reducing demands for mandatory minimum sentencing, and increasing rehabilitation efforts are some of the solutions we can find to make our prisons less overpopulated and our crime Mundial rate lower.
