If interested, look into how they manage it in Finland. Generally only the high risk and violent end up in 'real' prison.
Most get weekends and holidays off to spend with family and even get permission to travel overseas.
It is a weird system but seems to work more often than not.
Interesting. Thanks for the hint, I will look into it.
I even have to research german prison better, I only know about prison from TV and I watch mostly US series ^^*
