States from Kentucky to Ohio have begun experimenting with alternatives to imprisonment, such as expanding the use of “good-time credits”, which allow well-behaved inmates to earn their freedom, or “community correction” (expanding parole and probation).

从肯塔基州到俄亥俄州都在尝试监禁外的方法，比如扩大“优秀表现信用额度”的实施，这会使那些表现好的囚犯能今早重获自由；或者是“社区服务改正”，（增长假释时间和缓刑）。
