The early church had public confessions. It didn't do well to attract converts after the novelty wore off. Your idea sounds pretty, but I think doing that and releasing then into public life would open up revenge violence. If everything becomes public and there's no obvious penance, reparation, something, then they'd need to be isolated someplace on a distant Island or something, their families can choose whether to be with them or not, send some pastors or priests over occasionally, let them work for their own food.
