How can we decrease the population? Is there any chance?

Over recent times there have been debates between Republicans and Democrats about how we can lower the number of incarcerated citizens in each state. I think the state and federal governments need to come to terms, and make some agreements that will help the country and their citizens.If they actually have a conversation then maybe they will be able to get something done. I don't think the government cares enough, and they need to start to. If they don't then the country will be on its way to destruction. Forget about wars and other problems in other counties, how about focus on YOUR country, and YOUR people that you are supposed to represent and hand up for!

To help decrease the population, I think the judicial system should go over most trials, that are older, and re-evaluate them. I also think that the inmates that are put away for non-violent crimes should be taken out, and be given a second chance at life. The government should have better parole officers for inmates that are eligible for parole. If the judicial system is paranoid then have the inmates and the officers have better communication and understanding.
