A lot of people lose their support network in prison (or lose it before going in) and are released to the streets. They just get an open bus ticket courtesy of the state, go where it’s possible to live as homeless, and that’s it. A lot of the bussing we hear about is simply these open bus tickets prisons (especially Texan prisons) give out to people with no one picking them up.

As well the negative feedback loop of how hard it is to get good employment after going to prison.
