A lot don't do well, the recidivism rates are very high. Some of it is race based, the recidivism rates for blacks is much higher than whites, seems to indicate that whites "Learn" from the prison experience, but I don't believe that. Most of them get out on parole of some kind so there is some continued Structure, part of that is housing assistance and that sort of thing that gets worked out before they are released. So the initial start on the outside they get some help with, the problems come along shortly after that when they have to stay on the straight and narrow. The druggies are stupid, dope does that you know, and they think we are just as stupid as they are, so they do stupid drug related shit and end up back inside.
Ever watch Cops? You see most of them running around out on the street with their whole stash in their pocket, driving a car with expired tags and no tail lights, Begging to get stopped.
