Gary has just been granted parole. He served 7 years of his 10-year prison sentence because he was mostly well behaved; he worked in the captain's office and got an accounting degree inside prison. When he is released, his partner doesn't want to see him and his parents won't let him stay with them until he gets a job and proves that he is no longer a criminal. Gary has signed up to take the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) exam. He was sure that getting a college degree in prison would make him marketable and he would be able to get a good job upon leaving prison. He hasn't had a successful experience thus far and has just found out that he is not allowed to take the CPA exam. Gary feels like an outsider. He can't seem to get a job despite his college degree, and everyone looks at him

as if he is going to steal from them. He is not a criminal and is tired of being treated like one. He is just about ready to commit another crime so he can go back to his friends on the inside. Which of the following is not one of the common reasons parolees typically have this feeling? A. They can't find a job. B. They don't have a place to live or a psychologist who can help. C. Prison rarely addresses the psychological and economic needs of offenders. D. Restorative justice programs are largely exclusive.
