Introduction Jail overcrowding is a situation that worries many government authorities. As much as overcrowding in may be indicative of increased criminal activities within the country, it is important to find ways of ensuring that the prison cells have less of just the right capacity. There are a significant number of factors that may lead to overcrowding in jail (Forbes, 2001). However, despite all the factors, mechanisms must be put in place to help ease out the overcrowding in prison cell. This paper gives a program strategy that will assist in reducing overcrowding in jail premises or prison cells. Programs for the Jail Inmates to Participate in that Will Assist the Inmates in their Reintegration into Society Having a vibrant program in which jail inmates can participate in is very crucial in decongesting the prison cells. Such a program should have strategies that will ensure the prison achieves its main objective of correcting the behavioral traits of inmates and at the same time ensuring that the general members of the society are safe from any serious criminal activities. In the process of reducing overcrowding in prisons, it is important to take into account every possible legal implication of actions to be taken in the process of implementing the decongestion program (Mayer, 1982). Jail inmates can be involved in lots of activities that will prepare them for the process of reintegrating them back into the society.

To start with, there should be a programme in which the inmates are given some limited time to interact with other members of the society. In case, it will be appropriate for the prison authority to strengthen sporting activities amongst the inmates and invite teams from outside prison to come and have friendly games with the inmates. This will facilitate interactions between the inmates and other members of the society.

Moreover, another program entails the prison authorities finding ways of connecting inmates with job owners; in this case, the inmates are transported to work for those with jobs and earn some income. This will help create a rapport between the inmates and the job owners who may be interested in employing the inmates once they are released from jail. It will also be important to engage the prisoners in producing certain kind of products like furniture and or other enterprise products and sell directly to the members of the society. In view of this, the products should be labeled as produced by inmates. This will be a great way of assuring the members of the society that the inmates are productive and can participate in the economic production process once released back into the society (Freeman, 1999). It is crucial to realize that some inmates might suffer some psychological or cognitive problems while in serving sentence in prison. To ensure they do not become a problem to the society or experience cognitive challenges, it will be crucial that such or all the inmates be given psychological counseling services. Psychological counselors should be hired or p
