Another idea would be to take your chances w/ a 'last-class' cryo-pod!
And then there's always the 'British Solution' of loading up a ship-full of criminals in cryo-sleep & 'transporting' them to, wherever....

 During the
 Gold Rush era, Sydney used to export criminals to California
 by deliberately setting them up to jump bail and go to the
 US, thus becoming their problem. Look up the "Sydney
 Ducks".
 If we move the
 Imperium to a "high travel" model by abandoning
 the KCr 2 "life support" cost and so on, we might
 be able to push hot bunked "third class" travel
 down to ICr1500 a jump or so. At that point, going 10
 parsecs will cost about half a years pay for a high-tech
 citizen (per per capita income figures from Striker and TCS)
 - tough, but doable to start a new life.

 In the eastern regions of the
 late-19th-century U.S., many criminal cases were closed with
 the notation "GTT," which stood for "Gone To
 Texas."
 IMTU,
 many criminal cases in the rimward reaches of the Spinward
 Marches are similarly closed with the notation
 "GTD," which stands for "Gone To District
 [268]."
