One of the ways prisons deal with overcrowding is to release "small-time" offenders. In addition, they can parole offenders releasing them to half-way houses or back into the community. Lastly, another way is through interstate compact in which a state will transfer their inmate to another state. == == Let some of the inmates out. When Texas was pressed to the gills in the late 80's, they passed a mega-bucks bill to expand the prisons; from like 30 to now over 100. Problem is, that gave ammo to the "tough on crime" legislators and now all those new prisons are full again. And nobody wants anymore prisons. So if they don't ease up on parole requirements, they'll have to start triple or quadruple bunking per cell like they did in the 80's, and the whole mess starts all over again.
