We already have prisons like that for low-risk, nonviolent offenders. They are called minimum security or "country club" prisons. We also have home detention.

- lambda_obrien 6y agoIn America that's so rare it's nonexistent. A few rich white collar criminals might get home detention, but for most people who have the option, it's too expensive, with fees of hundreds of dollars a month or more. Country club prisons aren't a real thing, that's just talking points for the "tough on crime" politicians who want to make prison sound fun.
