You know,
if you want to go back to jail, then shoot the moon and try to rob a bank.
Its a win win. If you get away with it, you got lots of money and if you get caught, you end up in jail which is what you wanted in the first place

Either that or he got out, looked around at the state of the world, looked back at his free housing, healthcare, food, gym, cable television...and said "Screw this! I'm going back in. It's scary out here."
Kind of a form of Stockholm syndrome. Prison sucks but like anything else, you'd adapt and get used to it after a while. Eventually the outside world would seem to be the scary unknown entity. Makes a weird sort of sense I guess. Better the devil you know...
I honest to God have an uncle who got out of jail, found out that his wife left him, had no job or money so purposely broke the law to go back. He said its better there, three meals a day, no nagging wife, etc etc.
