In fact, do you have any data supporting that proposition? In my law enforcement/prosecution experience, the idea that state prisons are full of "non-violent offenders" is a myth - unless you count drug dealers (not users) and those with multiple convictions while on probation/parole. What about the economic impact of supporting those released and the economic impact of the crime we can statistically expect them to commit?
