Maybe white collar criminals could be disallowed from positions of power or authority. I don't know if they would be able to do much harm stacking shelves at Countdown. It's fair to think they deserve prison because of the horrible things they've done, but I think they could still be useful to the community in certain roles.

But I'm not too familiar with all the arguments. I'm not studying criminology

Yeah this seems like a relatively simple problem to fix in the grand scheme of abolition. Also worth noting that not having prisons doesn't mean not having a justice system. There would still be ways of identifying people that are doing bad things, and confirming that they are indeed doing those things. All that could remain as public as it is now (or more so), so folks would know who the white-collar crims are.
