520 _a"Delmarcus Burnette stepped into a cold and clammy October [2004] morning and toward freedom. Still wearing his dingy prison greens, smartened up with a new pair of bright white LeBron James basketball shoes, Burnette lopes, smiling, toward the gate of Fox Lake Correctional Institution. He nods to the correctional officer who checks his face against the mug shot in his hand--the last line of defense in a series of redundant safety measures at the medium-security prison--before ushering him through the gate....'This is the best day of my life.'...Despite his optimism, Burnette is re-entering society at a tremendous deficit. Like thousands of other young men who will be released from state prisons in the coming year, he's young, has no money, no car, no apartment and zero job prospects....Burnette has a two-in-three chance of being re-arrested within the next three years." (WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL) This article illustrates the challenges released offenders face upon returning to society, noting that it is "when they are back in the community, when they pose the greatest risk to the public," that Wisconsin "spends the least to supervise and, if necessary, punish offenders."
