It's unfortunately also true. We've convicted millions of people for nonviolent offsenses and locked them up away from society, away from employment, right alongside truly dangerous people. Now we're letting them out of the jails but they have little/no skills and will be locked out of numerous benefits programs and have a very hard time getting work, so yes, they're probably going to become homeless, criminals, or both.
Mind you as sad as this whole mess is, the authorities wringing their hands about this is infuriating to new levels. Akin to breaking someone's legs with a baseball bat before a race and then saying "Wow they're going to have a hard time winning this one, maybe they just should stay out of the race."
