Of course when a “former offender” can work and “get a place to live” the “technical infractions” placed on him will be “whittled away” to some degree and cut back on recidivism. The “obvious opposite” of this program is that coming back to prison will be “increased” by “throwing former offenders out into the world” with “no place to go except under a bridge” with “no job” and “no support” with “major residential restrictions” that even an animal might not survive with “no community” support the recidivism will be increased. This is common sense.
