Answer:Front-end strategies

Explanation:

Solutions to Prison Overcrowding

Prisons are too overcrowded and three solutions have been proposed which is adminstrative response, front-end-strategies and back-end-strategies.

Adminstrative responses refers to building more prisons but this is an expensive approach.

Front-end-strategies is a process of reducing the number of new people entering into the prison system.

The best front end strategy is preventing crime from happening from the start as the saying goes prevention is better that cure.

Front-end-strategy also encourages considering other form of punishment apart from incarceration. A person may do community service as an alternative sentence especially people who have committed petty crimes, this is called creating diversion programs.

Back-end strategies this means a person get released before the end of their sentence based on their good behaviour or change that has been observed.
