"Christie Donner, executive director of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, said Colorado needs to study what is driving a rising inmate population and devise alternatives to sending more and more people to prison."


What's driving it is more criminals breaking the law. You don't get sent to prison easily in Colorado...you have to commit a violent crime or continually commit non-violent crimes. There will always be those few saps who think criminals are victims. I suggest that Christie Donner volunteer to house some of these criminals at her home.
