From the list above, which one (please select and discuss only one) option do you see as being used more in the future to impact overcrowding? Explain your selection.

The role of alternative correction system is to punish the offender, protect the population from criminals and be able to rehabilitate the offender fully. Alternate corrections systems positively impact the management and administration of the jails, prisons among other correction centers.

In the US currently, there are suggested alternative correction system than can be used they include; parole, rehab, job training and community service among others (Gottschalk, 2016).

With this services, the people can reform entirely while still working efficiently for the community in the way they are designed to operate. In conclusion, with the use of alternative correction systems in the US, there is a better chance of the correction of achieving the objective of correction centers which is punished, protect and offer rehab facilities.
