The article plainly says the offenders are not being forced to attend church, so it would be their choice. Maybe instead of just attending church, they could also mow the grass, clean the church, etc.

Kinda like community service.

I think a lot of areas have that kind of program for non-violent offenders. They can do community service and work off their debt to society. The problem I see with this one is that there is no other choices. Jail or Church.
