Agree

Yes, but they must perform community service on a daily basis

Libertarians may support this option as a compromise between full incarceration and complete release. They generally believe in individual liberty and limited government intervention, so requiring community service could be seen as a way to reduce the prison population while still holding non-violent offenders accountable.
