No, but I'm sure he would. Having the restitution as part of his criminal parole/probation is certainly effective, isn't it? It makes failure to pay it a violation of your probation, so it will be paid or he'll be re-sentenced (and probably to jail). Unfortunately for your friend, it's the only game in town for him, so he'll have to pay it . . . and to do whatever it takes to do so.
