Prisoners released early from jail have been paid in compensation for losing free board and lodging.
To improve the policy, why dont we cancel jails altogether, and instead have our courts pay criminals for the time they will not be put in jail?
Or even better, why dont we cancel the judicial system altogether, and have the police (now wearing new red uniform with big white beard) hand cash directly to criminals cash for not being sent to jail, and cash for eliminating the court system, and saving tax payers money.
This can also be followed by cancelling the police as well. Instead we can put boxes full of money in the street; boxes which only criminals would be allowed to take money from. We can be sure that non-criminals will never touch the money, as it will be forbidden by law.

"boxes full of money... boxes which only criminals would be allowed to take money from" reminds strongly of the concept 'Bank'
