Recidivism?
The tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend. In the U.S. correctional system, it happens more often than you probably think.

$25k - $100k
Failing to change an inmate’s mindset isn’t just a social problem, it’s a financial one as well. Depending on the type of facility, ONE prison bed costs taxpayers between $25,000 to $100,000 a year.
The real tragedy is the human toll. Every time a released prisoner commits another crime, innocent people are profoundly affected. Friends, relatives, and children of an inmate are frequently secondary victims; and for the ex-offenders themselves, freedom is often fleeting.
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
