A comment on The boy who stole Half Life 2 source code (2011). Parent comment
Prison is fantastically expensive, not particularly effective, and severely degrades the offender's life.
Restorative justice is much cheaper and more effective at fixing the offending behaviour, and the results of that behaviour.
Prison should be left for violent or unrepentant recidivists.
