You are a state legislator who won election on a platform of alleviating the pressures of an 
overburdened prison system for your constituents. Now is your opportunity to introduce 
legislation that would work towards this goal. Name two sentencing policies that your 
legislation would change, and why you think targeting those policies would help alleviate 
overcrowding in prisons. Name a diversionary program you'd promote that would help with 
this issue as well, and explain why.
