Alternatives to long term jail

I made this post that generated a couple of responses. But I think a discussion of the topic is a bit off-topic in that thread so starting a new thread.

A person commits a serious crime, is caught and convicted. The normal thing to do is to sentence this person to a long jail sentence. But this is very expensive.

So the question is what are the alternatives? Australia has a good one in expelling them from the country, but that is only passing the problem onto another country.

One option that has been going around in my mind is that they are allowed to go to work, but after work, they need to go straight back to jail, where they spend the night and weekends. This jail need not be a massive place, but not much more than a large house, so it need not be remote from work. Of course, this will only suit certain types of people such as those who have a good job.

Any other options?
