"If you want any sort of public assistance you have to live in a big concrete dorm with rows of bunk beds and do menial labor."

I like that thinking. I had a similar thought. People convicted of white collar crimes should be forced to clean public bathrooms (like on the NJ Turnpike - but you can pick your favorite wherever you live) not comfortable community service. The displaced janitor can do the community service while the felon is taking his place.
