Bring back the chain gangs. Yes I mean it. The one thing chain gangs did was they made the offender work. The main problem with all of the current system is the victims are never repaid. The chain gang does not repay the specific victim, it does repay in a public way. Enriching the industrial prison complex does nothing for the victim nor does it teach the offender anything except probably more bad ways learned in jail. The victim is forgotten while judges, lawyers and jail people make good money. The offender must repay the victim if we want real justice. Plain and simple. Make them work! Maybe they will learn the value of a dollar and what it takes to earn it legitimately and a new skill! .
