DOC is at the end of a trail of tears.  We should start with the overcrowded court schedule (we need more judges) and the underpaid and overworked public defenders.  If innocent poor people had better quality representation (no dissing meant to the Public Defenders Office, as they are truly overloaded), then maybe we wouldn't have so many people in jail.

I can't speak to the workload of the Municipal, State or Federal prosecutors' offices.  Perhaps they're just as overloaded.  

There's an entire process that provides for the jailing of people.  We need to look at the entire picture, not just the end result.
