The best idea would be to make sure early education options are available for all children. That means state funded pre-school. We keep trying to triage all of our problems(prison), instead of going to the root of the problem, which is the kids who will someday become the inmates. But no one's interested in playing the long game. And there's not as much profit for the prison industrial complex when they don't have fresh bodies to fill their cells.
