Hear me out. I say if anything release the older inmates to free up room for the younger, more fucked up and violent generation. The average cost to keep someone locked up for one year is 35-40k per person. The average for an inmate over 60 years old is around 60k with medical needs, special requests, and anything else related to decreasing physicalities.

So there is a 70 yr old in there for bank robbery where nobody was injured. Understandibly, he did his crime and did the time but make room for the younger knuckleheads.

in California alone, the recidivism rate is 75%. Meaning that 3 of evey four convicts return within 4 months. Talk about a percentage.
