Like all the guys who got out of Leavenworth in 1978 all meet in Chicago every 5 years to show off to each other and one up each other on their life achievements since "graduation"?

This might be an untapped market oppt.

They usually get together and commit more crime.

About 75% of them end up back in jail within five years, so yes, that's where the reunion takes place

At Hunt they schedule reunions every 7-10 years.

Recidivism rates are so high. So that is kind of like a reunion.

The U.S. releases over 7 million people from jail and more than 600,000 people from prison each year. Within 3 years of their release, 2 out of 3 people are rearrested and more than 50% are incarcerated again.

Yep, nothing like showing up to a party and seeing older versions of people you regret having sex with..

Nope, you're confusing them with people actively on probation.

A "where are they now" would be interesting in a prison reunion.

Same with that Scared Straight show they used to have. It would be interesting to know if that actually helped any of them or if they are doing 25 to life.

The orginal Scared Straight is still the best one. If you haven't watched it, it's on YouTube.

I wonder if they get a weekend pass and removal of an ankle bracelet to attend.

I would say yes. It's called being a repeat offender.
