But surely you can't be suggesting that the homeless man should be housed for free, so that someone who has contributed so much to society has to bear the costs?
Maybe we should let the free markets decide: first, the criminal should sign a completely voluntary contract which specifies that his new owner is entitled to assign to him any work they deem a suitable compensation for his upkeep during his sentence (not signing the contract or shirking work duties leads to a doubling of the sentence and immediate transfer to an isolation cell for the remainder of his sentence), then put him up for auction and sell him to the highest bidder
Yeah. No wonder they threw the book at him.
I mean come on, who is really the one more deserving of punishment here: the fine upstanding job creator who had a small and momentary lapse of judgement, or the clearly bootstrap-deficient monster who – after choosing to be poor – doesn't have the moral fortitude to live on the streets like he should?
I'm not sorry and I will do it again
which is something they care deeply about.
They care about quarterly profits. Preventing fuckups of this scale requires long-term effort which is not profitable by itself, it only prevents possible future fuckups, and this is why proper QC etc. aren't done. Short term profits over everything else.

remora fish.
So in case somebody else here doesn't know squat about remoras, I went on Wikipedia and found out that they're fish that attach themselves to a host animal in a mutualistic arrangement. They remove ectoparasites and loose flakes of skin etc, and their diet is mainly composed of the host animal's shit.
Certainly not! Or other industries for that matter. It's a good thing executives everywhere aren't just concentrating on squeezing the maximum amount of money out of their companies and funneling it to themselves and their buddies on the board.
Sure, let's "rightsize" the company by firing 20% of our workforce (but not management!) and raise prices 30%, and demand that the remaining employees maintain productivity at the level it used to be before we fucked things up. Oh and no raises for the plebs, we can't afford it. Maybe a pizza party? One slice per employee though.
It's a bit unclear how any of what you're proposing is supposed to help
