I dislike community service sentencing, because it takes paying jobs away from people and business that should get a fair wage for doing them. 

Community service is great for nonprofit organization who are self-organizing and willing to go out and provide good civic work, but a captive system where a wrong-doer is given the opportunity to gain by earning prison credits while taking work away from honest citizens is wrong.

I've even said this about the elderly volunteers who do weddings at the local County Clerk's office;  they take money from the wedding planning industry and ministers who could and would otherwise offer their services in this capacity. 

The bride and groom get a free volunteer to perform a ceremony;  something that they could get a friend to do for free, online with the Universal Life Church and a home ceremony in their own living room. 

Anyway, debtors prisons ftw!
