What is a consequence of poor inmate behavior during the reintegration process?

A consequence of poor inmate behavior during the reintegration process is extended confinement periods. When an inmate demonstrates problematic behavior, it can negatively affect their eligibility for parole and the ability to participate in reintegration programs. In most correctional systems, including the TDCJ, good behavior is often a requirement for consideration in earning privileges such as parole or participation in halfway houses. Therefore, any incidents of poor behavior can lead to a reassessment of the inmate’s behavior, which in turn may result in a decision to prolong their time in confinement. This creates a setback in their reintegration efforts, as they may not be able to access supportive resources that aid their transition back into society.
