Only prison (jail) time is not (in theory) about making you feel miserable. One is not helped by being made miserable.
Prison time is (in theory) intended to put someone in a controlled environment where he could redeem by performing various activities while at the same time preventing said individual from continuing on the wrong path. The fact that it, in practice, became something very different is another story.

My childhood house had this:
- Rain falling on the house roof was channeled into a subterranean pool.
- Water stored there was used to water the garden and wash out the shit from the outside loo.

I wonder whether building a second subterranean room below the first would do the trick. The rooms should be quite large (7x7x5 meters each!) to store up to 195 cubic meters of water, but if you have a large enough courtyard you should be able to make two 10x10x2 meter rooms on top of each other, separated by a strong ceiling. You could bring the water back to the top room by using energy coming from a small wind-operated turbine.

This is just theory, throw rocks at will.
