It's really obvious you don't know much about prison and recidivism. Being convicted and spending time in prison has long reaching affects on your life. Your employment options become more limited, you may lose voting rights, your existing social networks are disconnected, you may be forced into low wage labor while imprisoned, you may be denied access to educational resources that would help you be employed after release, among other things. > It's as if being a criminal was a lifestyle some people choose to adopt from the beginning. They don't even want out of it, and some want back "in" because that's where the culture strives. You think people choose on purpose to be imprisoned rather than be free? This is a rationalization that prisoners deserve to be in prison because they are fundamentally flawed.
