The policies behind prison are enumerated by the 3 "R"s: Rehabilitation, Removal (from society), and Retribution (punishment). Promise sounds like it covers the first "R" very well, but I don't see anything geared toward the other two.
Maybe this idea would be more akin to a halfway house than to actual jail.
