I didn't want to continue to derail the Boston thread with this sort similar topic of conversation, but I found this article a little interesting/potentially alarming:
California 'lifers' leaving prison at record pace
This is worth noting,
The few studies of recidivism among released lifers including a Stanford University report show they re-offend at much lower rates than other inmates released on parole and none has been convicted of a new murder.
Of the 860 murderers paroled between 1990 and 2010 that Stanford tracked, only five inmates committed new crimes and none were convicted of murder. The average released lifer is in his mid-50s. Experts say older ex-cons are less prone to commit new crimes than younger ones.
