Back in the United States, Louisiana Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards is poised to sign legislation that would cut the state’s prison population by 10 percent over the next decade. The state estimates the measure will save taxpayers more than $260 million over the next 10 years by shortening prison time for certain nonviolent and drug offenders. Louisiana imprisons more of its residents per capita than any other U.S. state, leading critics to declare it the “incarceration capital of the world.”
