Thanks for your comment, Husna, and for taking the time to read my article. Good behavior in prison is tricky. There is so connection (research-wise) between BAD behavior in prison and the likelihood of reoffending once an inmate is released). But you're so right; there isn't as much connection between GOOD behavior and NOT reoffending. Because of some of the things you suggested - the person may not have access to the things that contributed to his offending, his choice of victim isn't accessible, etc.
