Fortunately, this isn't at all uncommon. According to national
statistics something like two-thirds of offenders choose not to
re-offend after each incareration. They serve their time, finish out
their parole and move on to other things.

It's the 1/3 who keep doing it that are more of a problem, though.

I remember reading that 80% of violent crimes are committed by repeat
offenders. Aren't statistics wonderful.
