Our society has made felons the scum of the earth, and our employers do not want to hire them, so they get revenge by getting back into trouble, and ending up where they think they deserve to be. It is a psychological game that our prison officials play. Prisoners have low self esteem, and they are dehumanized to less than a human being while in prison. Many end up giving up on hope and they don't care about anything anymore. Our society does not consider that the brain of a teen is not fully developed and when he/she commits crime at an early age, they need direction not punishment that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
