It would seem to be a no-brainer that one would not choose to get arrested and thrown in jail. I have read about some Native Americans who choose to go to jail. Their plight is unusual as they do not have enough money to feed or stay warm in the winter so they usually do something quite innocuous like drinking in public. The local police understand and put them in jail for a couple of months.
Most of us do not choose to use the jail system for public assistance. Thieves do not want to end up in jail.
Tens of thousands of people are arrested and jailed due to theft. Most of these people's lives will be forever changed. It will be changed by the experience in the jail cell and it will certainly change with respect to current and future employment.
An online theft class can help someone who feels compelled to steal. It can help them understand their feelings and how to manage their impulses. A theft class is certainly a smart prevention alternative to jail.
