Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies show that the majority of parolees (around 60-70%) who are returned to prison have not committed a new crime, but rather a technical violation of their parole guidelines, such as failing a drug test or missing appointments with their parole officer. Only a minority of returning parolees have committed new violent or drug crimes.
