Jail would require taking a cell away from someone who really needs to be in a cell.

Yep. Putting her in jail would serve no purpose at all. As a matter of fact, I am against putting people in jail for nonviolent crimes. I feel that they can best punished by making them pay for their crimes in other ways. Martha Stewart could have worked for Habit for Humanity for one thing. Or, she could have worked in a soup kitchen. She could have used her talents for good for the time of her jail sentence instead of using taxpayers' money to house her in prison. White collar criminals could serve sentences on the outside in much better ways and save taxpayers' money and help society as well.
