This is from talks I've had with parole officers. Often, the prisons can merely act as Criminal U. Coming out it is hard to get a legitimate job, and they've learned more criminal skills while in prison. It's much easier to just go right back into the criminal lifestyle, a vicious cycle. However, a concern I have with this program is that gang members can bring their criminal connections with them into business. In times of tough competition they may be tempted to use these connections.
