Reconcile the French People

There's much talking (but no acting at all) in France about the Islamisation, communitarism-separatism (immigrant communities rejecting to integrate and assimilate, and creating their own close, xenophobic and medieval communities), the skyrocketing levels of criminality and violence (now we call it "ensauvagement"), the ridiculous laxity of the justice system (particularly when the criminals are part of a so called "minority")... and bla, bla, bla...

Regarding this separatism, there's a nice and well thought (as usual, it's interesting how much someone like me that has swung to the center-right continues to respect these "traditional left" guys) set of writings/drawings in Charlie Hebdo issue 1461, 600 jours pour rabibocher les Francais/600 days to reconcile the French people. From all of them, there's one by Riss that particularly stands out, so I'm translating it here (sorry for my lack of translation skills):

Travelling educates the young people

Young people between 15 and 25 years old having committed repeated criminal acts will be comdemned to spend the prison sentence expected for adults by the Penal Code, not in prison, but in a foreign country, in a French NGO. 10 months of prison will become 10 months to be spent in New Delhi taking care of people infected with leper or tuberculosis. 12 months of prison will become 12 months in a Health center in a slum in Haiti. The aim is to move these young people away from their environmnet and to make them discover new horizons. At the end of their condemnation purged this way, they'll get a job offering in France, related to the activities conducted in the NGO that has taken them in and educated them.

As I have little trust in some humans I'm not sure to what extend this could work, but for sure it's a better option than the ridiculous prison sentences in a comfortable French prison and the social aids that the tax payers will pay them once they are out committing crimes again... The other options that I would favor: removing their French nationality if they are bi-nationals, penal labour or plain-good-old capital punishment... I guess are not acceptable by our naive European societies...
