More wasteful spending on failed programs.  If you want to see   recidivism rates go down you MUST make prison a true punishment.  Its not just 3 hots and a cot.  Its espressos, music, parties, cable tv, free health care, commissary shopping at places like Walmart and Costco, pets, free education, the ability to go wherever you want in the facility including other inmates rooms, and on and on.
