Hobologist posted:It's a charming idea, and fortunately not forbidden by the 13th amendment, but who's going to hire a 15 year old car thief? And if the state is going to make up work for them to do, why not just have the state pay restitution directly? I don't see any reason why the symbolic "working to pay it off" of community service doesn't serve the same function, with insurance or the state making the victim whole. The state doesn't need to "make up work", a soup kitchen or animal rescue or whatever can find something for a 15-year-old to do. A direct "wage garnishment" sort of situation could also work theoretically, but in practice I think it just would take too long for the full amount to be paid off to be practical for the victim - you'd still need the state to pay the amount initially or else you could easily be waiting a year or longer to get your car back as a victim
