Frankly, They're convicted, anything they do that requires a police report will be difficult for them for the rest of their lives. That's probably enough.

Cue screeching banshees clamouring for punitive punishments.

I would rather redirect the funding that would be spent on detaining these men, on education and recompense for the victims.

Ditto.

Though, prison does exist to keep very dangerous, likely to reoffend, people away from innocents.

An unfortunate lesser evil.

Here's a banshee right here.

The victims were asking for the name suppression to end so these guys won't do it again.

Now the victims will face serious charges if they speak to it in public at all. With likely worse penalties than the original offenders received for rape.

What a load of horse shit.
