Im fine with jail to a point that it is a very short term holding pen to store the person humanely until trial has been made. Prisons, on the otherhand, I am very much against. Of course, If I had to be forced to make a choice between prison for life and execution, I would vote prison for life.
I would much prefer exile. Kick that person outside of the borders, give the person one set of clothing and shoes and a bag full of tools to help him or her survive and then they are on their own. If they are not willing to co-exist with a bare minimum anarcho society, then they are more than likely not willing to co-exist with anyone. Im even willing to take the "prison island" concept, but I frown on it a bit. I also dont like the idea of kicking our problems into other communities borders. this isnt an easy choice.
Exile is only for people who commit murder and the most worst types of social disfunction, like rape and treason against your community.
In a syndicate, things like "theft" no longer exist as everyone has a fair share of the pie, and there is no reason to steal. In fact, once capitalism is banned, most, if not all crimes will cease to exist on the financial end of the bargain.
In the end, I feel that only horrendous crimes deserve punishment, and that punishment merely be a humane exile.
