Tо refоrm its criminаl justice system, Mаrylаnd's legislature tоok two massive steps in 2016. First, nonviolent offenders who had been given severe prison sentences in the past would be eligible for early release. Second, mandatory minimum sentences for newly convicted nonviolent offenders were rescinded, meaning that those found guilty of intent to distribute illegal drugs would no longer automatically face 10 years in prison. As a result, Maryland expects to reduce its prison population by nearly two thousand and save at least $80.5 million dollars in incarceration costs over the next decade.Maryland is hardly the only state to have taken dramatic measures with regard to corrections and criminal justice. In 2010, South Carolina eliminated some mandatory minimums, changed low-level property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and made it less likely for probation and parole violators to be incarcerated. By 2016, these measures had led to an 18 percent drop in South Carolina's prison population and $18 million in corrections savings. Overall, between 2006 and 2016, 28 states saw their prison populations decline, contributing to a small but significant trend in American corrections: fewer inmates. In 2015, the U.S. prison population fell by just over 2 percent, hitting its lowest level since 2005 and continuing a six-year downward course.Which of the following decarceration methods was used by Maryland to decrease the prison population?
A study releаsed in 2003 by the Reseаrch Netwоrk оn Adоlescent Development аnd Juvenile Justice found that 33 percent of juvenile defendants in criminal courts had the same low level of understanding of legal matters as mentally ill adults who had been found incompetent to stand trial. Legal psychologist Richard E. Redding believes that "adolescents' lack of life experience may limit their real-world decision-making ability. Whether we call it wisdom, judgment, or common sense, adolescents may not have nearly enough."Juveniles are generally more impulsive, more likely to engage in risky behavior, and less likely to calculate the long-term consequences of any particular action. Furthermore, adolescents are far more likely to respond to peer pressure than are adults, meaning that they often engage in the same criminal or delinquent behavior as their friends.What was the main reason given by the U.S. Supreme Court in its landmark decision in Roper v. Simmons (2005)?
