For recidivism, something which doesn't violate human rights or the Eighth Amendment might involve making sure that the prisons don't have decaying archaic infrastructure leading to things like lead entering the water. As we know, lead can lead to neurological damage (and it is said even crime).

Also, this is no substitute for access to abortion. And I'd be wary of justifying the "lesser evil". #HumanRights
