There are so many factors that go into stopping people from repeating the cycle of committing crimes and ending up back in prison. Resources to find jobs, counseling, housing, drug treatment, and mental health help, can help people avoid going back to jail. Some people find religion and that helps them live a life of crime (although there are some bad actors who use religion to further their life of crime). At the end of the day, some people just have to hit rock bottom before anyone can help them or they can help themselves. If the threat of punishment was enough to stop people from committing crimes, we wouldn't have any. Murders know that life without parole is a possible punishment, but they still choose to commit murder.

One of the prime reasons people commit crimes is to get fast or easy money. As well-paid job opportunities shrink and prices go up, some people look to crime to make ends meet. Hopefully, the promises that were made to drop grocery, rent, gas, health care, and childcare prices start to go down or we may see crime go up in the next few years. The people below committed a variety of crimes. Hopefully, this will serve as a wake-up call for some, if not all of them.

Each of the people listed below is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
