'''Prison reform''' consists of proposals to reduce the expense and injustices caused by what has been criticized as the "Prison-Industrial Complex" by former federal Bureau of Prisons employee Jack Donson.<ref>http://www.forbes.com/sites/walterpavlo/2015/09/08/prison-reform-is-all-the-rage-but-a-real-opportunity-for-change-might-be-missed/</ref>

The [[United States]] imprisons far more people per capita, with far longer sentences, than any other country in the world, including [[communist]] nations. The direct costs are a staggering $8.7 billion annually merely for federal prisoners, plus a far higher cost for state and local prisoners and an indirect social cost of probably trillions.
