Hard labour should be used
Why the fuck these miscreants aren't made to offset the enormous costs of their incarceration themselves is a complete mystery to me. They could give something back whilst potentially learning useful skills, and having to do gruelling work all day really would be a deterrent as opposed to bumming each other all day and trading phone cards or whatever it is these people do.

Failing that, hang the bounders.
