LEGAL TIP OF THE WEEK: ARE OKLAHOMA PRISONS IN CRISIS? ARE OKLAHOMA PRISONS IN CRISIS? HOW TO CUT BACK ON AN OVERCROWDED SYSTEM.

With report after report showing that Oklahoma prisons have reached maximum capacity, legislators have to come up with alternative forms of punishment. One push is to reclassify certain crimes as non-violent, and allow those offenders to serve their sentences outside of the prison walls. Another option is early release, but the determination as to eligibility for an early release program is a difficult one to make. The answer might seem to be to construct more facilities, but with a tight budget that does not seem likely any time soon.
