It would be easier to just put him in jail. Why bother with community service?

Community service is primarily aimed at minor offenders as an alternative to incarceration. It provides a rehabilitative system that is different from serving time in jail. It is unlikely that anyone would willingly choose to stay in prison or enjoy a constant cycle of entering and exiting the correctional system. Prosecutors are also not inclined to derive pleasure from imprisoning individuals.

Therefore, while hoping for genuine remorse from the community, it is important for the offenders to consider whether they want to give themselves, their families, and their future a chance. Just as the sun shines after the rain, by embracing the community service system and earnestly fulfilling its requirements, it can assist in finding a fresh start and reclaiming one's life.
