Perfectly said. But I said something similar above, and I don't think they get it. I feel it is like this - they have lived in a jail cell for most of their lives, and when they are let out, they have no clue what to do. This is very similar to real prison inmates, they've been told what to do all their life and everything was structured for them all their life, they can't handle it on the outside where they can choose what to do for the rest of their life. This results for them longing to go back to jail, and they eventually violate their parole, or they commit a new crime so that they can go back to what they are comfortable with. The rest never really fit back into public life, and many commit suicide.
I've seen this with my parrot. He doesn't want to be out and left alone - he wants back in his cage where things are structured and he feels safe.
It's amazing to see this from people from ex communist countries and their longing to go back into their own cage.
