I know there are programs out there, but I honestly think if they spent money on getting halfway houses going it would help tremendously.
It would give them a safe place to trasition back into the outside world. I mean you gotta imagine what its like to go from being in a tiny cell 23hrs a day or so to suddenly being able to do whatever you want when ever you want. That's overhelming and I can see why people go back to their old ways. Its a comfort thing.
