" Ninety-five percent of all inmates in America are eventually released from prison and return to our communities. Yet we willfully ignore the ramifications of releasing people into our neighborhoods directly from correctional environments that are designed for maximum punishment and control. Some people are released directly from solitary confinement to the streets. Some from years spent in solitary to the streets. "
