Prison overpopulation can be handled far easier by reducing sentencing for/not incarcerating non-violent offenders, releasing three strike inmates who are in for three drug possession felonies and other non-violent inmates, etc...
True. Less chance of happening though.

How many would have to die to achieve a notable reduction in our prison population though? Shall we expand capital punishment to include 2nd degree murder? Manslaughter? Rape? Drug trafficking? Third strike drug possesion?
Far better to make rehabilition the primary goal and maintain long term prison sentencing for the worst of the worst.
