    “General Interest Work” (TIG) in France is an alternative/complement to incarceration for short sentences not exceeding 400 hours. It also requires consent from the defendant.
    I think in principle it’s fine, and it could be stretched for longer sentences. That’s quite a bit better than hanging people in my humble opinion. Sorry to quench your murderous fantasies. The US have something like that, but it’s exploitation for profit (their prisons are privately owned, it’s a subject in and of itself).
