In this thread? No. But it's an unspoken assumption in Ernest's counterargument to exile in particular, as a supporter of Keystone - that development of public land for energy production is fine, but using it to alleviate the conditions in the prisons is not.

My support for Keystone XL is based primarily upon the belief that a pipeline is the least environmentally impactful way to transport crude oil that will be produced regardless of whether Keystone XL is built or not.  But even so, how do you propose forcing criminals to stay in their assigned plots of land, doing a task they have no skill with and likely little inclination?

No; my uncle who serves in the LA legislature got into a big disagreement with Jindal over this.

Translation: Moving crude oil by railcar takes more energy and has a greater risk of fatal accident and spillage.

Given the choice between a two-room cabin on the taiga with a communal well and a chance to see the mountains and a cell on the block, I suspect most prisoners wouldn't need much coaxing to finish out their sentences in exile. A handful of guard towers with a small staff should suffice in preventing violence.
