What is wrong with that? If you do not want to do time, then do not do the crime is an attitude that most of society has, not just DOC employees. DOC does not have the attitude that every prisoner should never be released. When I worked at the prisons, I was happy when an inmate was released and hopeful that they learned something and did not return. I was frequently disappointed. The largest majority of inmates were not what could be called career criminals and were very pleasant to deal with. There is, however a large group of inmates who are doing life in prison on the installment plan. A few years here and a few years there.
