While this is probably not one of those cases, some prison inmates become institutionalized and find it much more comfortable to be locked up than to be free.
IS THIS THE DUMBEST CRIMINAL IN AMERICA? PAROLEE CAUGHT TRYING TO BREAK INTO PRISON

A convicted burglar on parole was caught trying to break in to the maximum-security prison he was let out of in 2009.
Thermal imaging cameras recorded Marvin Lane Ussery, 48, sneaking back into New Folsom State Prison in California in the early hours of yesterday morning, prison officials said.
'We quickly determined we did not have an escape.
'We found the suspect hiding in bushes near the Prison Industry Authority area,' prison spokesman Tony Quinn said.
The chancer was arrested at 1.30am on suspicion of being a felon on prison grounds.
Ussery served time behind bars at the prison, also known as California State Prison Sacramento, for robbery before he was granted parole in June 2009.
The penitentiary, where Johnny Cash famously performed for prisoners in 1968, houses mostly maximum-security inmates serving long sentences, or inmates who have been difficult to control at lower-security institutions.
Ussery's bicycle was parked near to where he hopped the seven foot barbed wire chain link fence encircling a large wooded area behind the prison.
Thirty corrections officers combed the prison yard for hidden contraband that the ex-inmate may have been trying to sneak in.
'We don't have any evidence of this in this case, but we have had incidents where former prisoners have snuck back onto the property to hide backpacks filled with drugs, alcohol or phones,' Quinn said.
'Minimum-security prisoners then find those backpacks and try to smuggle the contraband into the prison,' he said.
Officers have not yet found any smuggled contraband.
