The thief was to make restitution for what they had taken. There is a crisis at the present time in British prisons. Most prisoners are bored and rebellious because they are not challenged. Even if they work, it is simple and easy. The idea of "prison camps" is an excellent one, where prisoners can participate in simple farm work or make bricks. This will help the prisoner to make restitution.
