I would bet that the vast majority of parolees don't end up in this manner.
True.
I don't have anything against parole, strictly speaking. I do have a problem with the large number of parolees who *do* commit crimes, especially violent crimes, once paroled.
My feeling is that one factor that contributes towards the decision of paroling a convict is prison overcrowding. I have no documentation to support this, but there it is.
Too many convicts are paroled that had/have no business being released to the general public.
