Indeed it would be unfair to the monks!  This is the fourth time I am writing (and more angrily each time) in response to suggestions like the one you've posed.  Why is it that monasteries are so often suggested as alternatives to prison?  When will people finally understand that men and women in  monastic communities have freely chosen their life of prayer and deep communal search for God.  Again,  please realize that monasteries are not correctional facilities!
