French prisons have reached an average rate of occupancy of 116.6%. Overcrowding is mainly present in short-stay prisons, where they hold both sentenced people and people awaiting trial. France’s prisons rank third in Europe for overcrowding according to the International Centre for Prison Studies, with official figures showing there are 68,253 people incarcerated but places for only 58,587. France unveiled plans on Thursday to build 33 new jails and renovate older ones in a bid to ease chronic overcrowding that justice officials say breeds conditions for Islamist radicalisation of prisoners.
@9KNGFD8Unsubmissive France2mos2MO
Yes but they should still have to have supervision and do mandatory working, not totally free until their sentence is up.
@9JRV87K3mos3MO
Only after they pass assessments that test stability of the patient, and they will still be called in for checl ups
@9HZJCZQReconquest4mos4MO
Abolish prisons and introduce the death sentence for avoiding taxes unles your net worth exceeds €1,000,000,000 but make all other crimes legal

@985VJSR1yr1Y
Maybe, it depends on the sentence
Add more education and skill building services, but also release nonviolent people... Except people who are in prison for tax fraud and corruption
@9CWYJWLMiscellaneous Right10mos10MO
No, if they are sexual offenders.
Criminology and New Zealand is children murder tapes and use more decrease behaviour against Fiji and it's Mumbai India voilance
@9BB5Y7S1yr1Y
Yes, only under extreme circumstances, and they should be under house arrest or have to do community service.
Yes, but only those who committed a crime that didn’t directly harm other people

No, but we should decriminalize drugs and reduce the stigma around employing ex-convicts with non-violent histories reduce overcrowding
@93RQL4H2yrs2Y
Yes, especially those who are only in jail for possession of marijuana.
@93G2RP72yrs2Y
Release all prisoners who are in incarcerated for victimless crimes
@8ZPHR882yrs2Y
Yes, but we should abolish the current prison system in favor of restorative justice system.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, but they must perform community service on a daily basis while being placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, but they must perform community service on a daily basis and/or be placed under house arrest using an electronic bracelet. However, we should increase funding to offer education and skill-building services for prisoners.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, reform the system so there will never be overcrowding.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, we should privatize prisons and convert life sentences into death penalties.
@7GQMXLT2yrs2Y
They should be permitted to be, on the order of a judge, assuming house arrest and community service for the duration of their sentences. It should not be an across the board mandate or expectation.
@92XHX9V2yrs2Y
it depends on what their initial crime was in the first place, if it is anything related to the harm of children then absolutely not so it depends on what the initial crime was.
@92XBXBB2yrs2Y
Most nonviolent prisoners should not be in prison. This question should change the title to say 'prison' vs 'jail'. There is a big difference.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, reform the system so their will never be overcrowding.
@92NVQ272yrs2Y
No, they can't be released from jail without evidence of why they have to be released, and once they are in jail, they're criminals.
@92MWV7F2yrs2Y
The prison system does not bring true justice. We should go back to a biblical model of actual payment for wrongs done.
@92GWJXX2yrs2Y
Reform the system so there will never be overcrowding
@MSelvig2yrs2Y
Neither: we need an entire prison system reform.
@92BKNSF2yrs2Y
We can't build more prisons, we can't change most of the people in prison if it's a serious crime like 1st 2nd 3rd-degree murder, killing/molestation of minors, etc. Crimes like that and it's not the most humane way but I feel we should expand death row even though it would be terrible to kill another human but you should defiantly not kill/molest a minor.
@928PJ8Q2yrs2Y
No, release drug users instead
@924HYRZ2yrs2Y
We should adopt the way prisons in europe handle their inmates by rehabilitating them and teaching them skills to offer a better way of life.
@8ZYDXDD2yrs2Y
Yes, but they should preform community service and physiological evaluations once a month as well as free education in order to return into society
@ThomasJ4762yrs2Y
No, reform the system so there will be no overcrowding.
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
No, this violates the Amendment about doing trial twice.They should keep the sentence they got. But I approve of alternatives such as house arrest, and I certainly approve of training community service, given there are no opportunities for child abuse, stealing, etc.
@8ZM5ZPZ2yrs2Y
yes but provide house arrest for the first 8 months
@jpatel2yrs2Y
Yes, only if the crime was minor and non violent, and the prisoner has a history of good behavior
@8ZJFSF62yrs2Y
Depends on what their crime was, keep them closely monitored
@8ZGW3DM2yrs2Y
yes, well, this would have to be on a base-to-base case. cause there is a need to have room but also the way that each does things and what they have learned from it as well.
@ThomasJJ992yrs2Y
No, reform the system so there will never be overcrowding.
@8VHBC3L2yrs2Y
No, expand death penalty to make room.
