Right now, you commit a crime and you're sentenced to five years. That's rather arbitrary. Instead, it should be you commit a crime, and you're sentenced to prison until, say, you've got your substance abuse and anger management problems sorted, then you're on parole until you've proven you can hold down a job and an apartment without cheating or stealing from anyone and have a relationship without beating your partner.
The only tiny wee flaw in this plan is coming up with an objective way to measure results that neither correctional officers nor criminals can game.
