I personally don’t see the point of sending people convicted of financial crimes to prison anyway. I’d rather put them on a very short leash and make them repay what they took.
After all, putting them in prison just ends up costing the taxpayers.
Very good point about financial criminals.
They are put in prison to punish them for theft or graft. They are usually required to pay restitution as well. Why you wish to encourage graft in a government rife with it is beyond me.
