Add you own!
Nice idea, and I like the restitution aspect... but really do you think it's a good idea to let criminals practice the same skills that got them locked up in the first place? Doc Thompson is not being jailed for medical fraud or malpractice... so putting him to work as a Doctor may be a good idea. But "Fraudsters..." putting them to work on live accounts... hmmmmm not good.
Now if someone is in for some other reason... say drug abuse... and they happen to have accounting skills, that is one thing.
