" In order to reduce criminal behavior, we must build responsibility and routine as opposed to eliminating it. We must enhance job training and reduce obstacles to employment once prison sentences are done. We must foster connections with family and support networks even during periods of incarceration rather than creating barriers to these connections. These are ex ante solutions that reduce crime in the long run. "
