That would also require that the courts and prisons get more funding to expand their size, but that doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon.

I spent over 35 years "on the inside"... Or is it "in the inside"?
One thing I'll say is that is no meaningful programming offered/available.
Oh there used to be, but as time went on it all went away. These days it's just about trying to keep a lid on things , usually with both hands tied behind your back by some bs policy written by some book-learned kid who has never stepped into a jail.

IMO you've nailed the problem. You've pointed out that almost everything in our legal system is written by basically honest people or at least to cater to honest people.

It's like the physical difference between a man's input in child birth vs a woman's. Five minutes for the guy but nine months for the gal. Nine months of hormones, weight gain, moods, needs, wardrobe and restrictions. The guy zips up his pants. It isn't the same.

Then there's the nature vs nurture argument and things are going to get worse. Read up on childhood emotional neglect and the adult consequences.

Parents take the kid for a run in the stroller but spend their time on their cell phones rather than emotionally bonding with their kid.

The list goes on psychologically. Kids grow up hearing or sensing financial friction between parents. The Rocking Horse Winner is no longer fiction.

Striking the right balance is hard. Too much money and you're elitist. Too little and you're a loser. Civil disobedience protests, how many millionaires do you see trashing the streets?

We're screwed.

Overcrowding due to underfunding.

No.
Over crowding due to the continuing decline of society.
So many people are so emotionally stunted and childish, as adults they still behave selfishly with no regard for others.
That and the stat driven nature of modern policing.
The number of low hanging fruit criminals in custody is remarkable. They're dumb and easy to catch...Lol.
