When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

... there is something called an overcrowding draft. ... It means that when a closed prison simply cannot cope on a particular day or night, it contacts Leyhill or another open prison, often at short notice, to say, "Can you take five lads? We can't fit them in our prison tonight."
Note: a closed prison is a (standard) prison most people think of (inmates are kept in closed room or bloc). Currently, there are several implementations of what is called open prison where inmates are let free to move in a closed area, e.g. in a small island, not kept in room/bloc.

Category A, B and C prisoners are held in what are called 'Closed' prisons. These have security measures that stop the inmates escaping. Category D prisoners are held in 'Open' prisons where they can wander around freely but must show up for daily roll calls.
