No, would not be ethically correct release prisoners from prison early because of overcrowding. The justice system that put them there did so based on the laws of the land established by the people of the country.

Answer:

I personally believe that it depends on the person and their improvment. There are over a million people in the U.S. prison system for minor drug offenses. If they release people according to level of offense, then I believe that it can be justifiable. If they are under house arrest, pay fines, and do counseling, and participate in daily community service it is comprehensible in my opinion.
