Would be a great thing community work. Happens a lot in the states, giving something back. It also makes it a bit easier for them to integrate back into society. Some prisoners are so institutionalized that they just want to get back to their cell because its become home. It should only be home for those few who can't be rehabilitated due to being too damaged to change. Psychopaths for example.
