I was going to write a short post on this story, but then I saw someone else had already said what I was going to, basically, and probably a lot better. So I won't bother.
Except to say that this line from the Comment is Free piece: "The past 15 years have seen an exponential rise in the number of people sent to prison and in sentence lengths" is probably pushing the definition of exponential a bit. Which is not say that prison numbers haven't increased dramatically, or that sentence lengths are longer, because they are. Just that things are bad enough without the need to resort to hyperbole.
