It's time to try something different. America incarcerates a far larger percentage of its citizens that nearly every other Western country. So either we are just more “criminally inclined” or there's something wrong with our laws and justice system.
The only caveat for me is the number of illegal aliens we jail and the wall would help that situation immeasurably. Here in California I believe they represent more than one third of our state's prison population. Federal judges here have said build more prisons, or let them out, because of our overcrowding. Central Valley cities like Stockton and Fresno have serious illegal alien-spawned crime problems.

Both.
