Decentralized Pu'uhonua

In old Hawai'i, one who had committed a crime could find shelter and safety at a pu'uhonua, or place of refuge. 

We envision small, open centers in each district on each island, where non-violent offenders can live close to their homes, learn  job skills, enter drug rehabilitation, and do ho'oponopono with their families. 

Surely this is better in every way than exiling our sons, fathers, brothers, sisters and daughters to corporate prisons in foreign lands.
