The important points summarized here:
Seventy-eight percent of inmates had previous incarcerations.
Forty-two percent had 5-10 or more incarcerations.
The vast majority of prison inmates have multiple previous arrests and incarcerations. The vast majority have histories of violence.
This is why Chisholm (et al.) should be forcibly retired ASAP, and why spending more on prisons and less on prison-factories (schools) is a good idea.
