Concerning offender programs, we need to take a serious look into the recreation and leisure time activities. These things provide comfort to people who are sent to be punished.

Thus, they make return trips. Many of life's basic necessities they once had to earn is now given to them . To put it plainly, most offenders have been rescued. After years of being supported and not having to earn or work for anything, they become accustomed to this lifestyle. They thrive on doing nothing and being nothing, while at the same time having their needs and comforts provided.
