Systems that seek to reduce conflict and compensate victims did not historically make much use of imprisonment.

For a modern look at this, look at the xeer system of Somalia, where victims will almost always prefer payment/compensation over punishment.

Imprisonment is largely an invention of the state, as they push victims and inter-personal conflict aside, and rather use their tools to subordinate the citizen to the order of the state and then charge the victim taxpayers the cost of imprisonment and funnel the money into their buddies running and working the prisons.
