In the USA, if you have been in prison for 5 years or more and get released, you have an 80% chance of being back in jail within 1 year.

Fascinating look into the penal system
BBINBOSTON
Very interesting podcast about the issues that the US prison population faces while incarcerated and after being released. Everyone should listen to this. Our current system is in desperate need of a major overhaul.
