A lot of them return because of low self-esteem which led to their criminal activity in the 1st place. They rarely worked 9-5 so they don’t have any work ethic and can’t hold down a job long. Mental illness (bi-polar for example) makes them unable to retain a productive life. If they started young they will probably be career criminals. Non-rehabilitable. Some just can’t hack it on the outside. Prison is easier for them. If they want to remain free they’ll have to grow a pair.
