| Sometimes prisoners never seem to get free of the prison system and they become what society now refers to as recidivists. |
| It's a logical response of a system which becomes frustrated with recidivists. |
| Burn a few here, whip a few there, throw the recidivists and incorrigibles into re-education camps to keep the rest in line. |
| Keep quiet about the 4,000 recidivists who run city streets, committing crimes with increasing bravado and little fear of punishment. |
| People who come out of jail and can't get jobs do become recidivists and can't get married. |
| James A. Johnston, the prison's first warden, believed that egoism was the chief failing of recidivists. |
