In my prison I have only white-collar criminals. They are bright and eager to work. So I set them up as on-line real estate or stock brokers. Is that fair?

Problem is we are so focussed on rehabbing these people we forget why we have them there. Lets punish them first to make them pay for their crimes. Maybe they will think twice about it if we make it tough enough. Now, after their time is up, we can focus on rehabbing them IF they want it. Otherwise, lets make it a deterrent and not a holiday camp.
Who gets the money they make? Who pays for the losses?
