No, if we offer education and skill based learning and jobs then we can reform prisoners so that they're less likely to commit crimes when they are released, in the short term it will be a slight issue because there is still overcrowding but in the long run this would reduce overcrowding and reduce the amount of repeat offenders meaning criminal statistics will lower. However if someone has committed a truly heinous crime I do still think they deserve the death penalty, on the basis the family of the victim agrees to it, the victim if still alive agrees to it and the court and a jury of the criminals peers also agree to it and there is undeniable evidence and they have admitted to it without false charges.
