Why are punishments almost always centered around revenge rather than restitution for the victims? maybe Jake needs mandatory employment working for the victim until he works off a suitable sum in proportion to the damages caused? In the case of murder, in many states they take the life of the murderer. Why not take that life and put it to constructive use rather than just ending life in revenge?

Forced labor sounds constructive enough for me Smiley

I would like to have same prisons, but with people isolated inside those prisons, in single cells. No physical contact (in some cases verbal) with other inmates whatsoever. They can be of constructive use from inside there too.

They have those. It is called a maximum security SHU (Segregated Housing Unit).
