Okay. Would all prisoners in the general population be eligable to work in the community, or would you suggest the more violent be put to work inside?

And, I wasn't considering letting prisoners out into the local community unsupervised. If they are out doing manual labor, they are chained, and skilled work can be setup in the prison facilities themselves when applicable.
I did understand you were not suggesting prisoners be unsupervised. That was one of the reasons why I thought your idea sounded expensive - the need for personnel to guard prisoners out in the community.

The other thing (I don't know your level of experience with the military) is that people who have been living under strict military discipline for months are not going to be thinking of much other than how to avoid the wrath of the DI. I'm thinking that 2 or 3 DIs and a squad of armed and riot armored guards are all you'd need to keep 40 prisoners under total control outside of a prison doing some manual labor.
I assume in your example you are referring to the average young person who enlists in the military, not hardened criminals. Might they not react differently? Also, if boot camp went on forever, wouldn't the fear of the DI lessen over time?

Devices have a nasty habit of failing. Dead criminals never commit another crime.
