Out of interest, is it the double standards that bother you or the punishment?

  Both. In an ideal world, all nonviolent prisoners would serve their time in minimum security prisons as would violent offenders who are genuinely rehabilitating. With work release reintegration into society is little more than a change in residence from prison to halfway house to their own place at the end of a prison sentence. But we don't live in an ideal world and as long as the United States justice system has a modus operandi, it should be applied consistently for the sake of fairness and equality. Otherwise it's just a big farce.
