In response to "Do people wrongly imprisioned in the US typically turn to a life of crime upon their release? -- nm" by oblique

you mean at gitmo, or just in general?

I know that some branch of the federal government said that a majority of those released from gitmo join terrorists groups.

I was speaking generally to the mindset. If you're innocent of what you've been accused of - oblique Jan 23, 07:28 10
- (and typically if you're in prison, you've been convicted, which none of the guantanamo detainees have been) -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 07:32 8
  - 3 were found guilty -- nm - Redmond Jan 23, 07:34 6
    - out of 800+ prisoners that have been there, that's a pretty terrible average. -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 07:42 2
      - it could be that the prisoners who were released, were less likely to be found guilty. - loosilu Jan 23, 07:59 1
        
        they've still only charged like 20 people. if they have the evidence, 7 years shoud be enough time to get *something* accomplished. -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 08:05
    - and others have been found guilty in other countries. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:35

      - many people are imprisoned before they are found guilty. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:35
  - yes, there have been convictions. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 07:33
- many people go on to fight the system that incarcerated them. -- nm - mafic Jan 23, 07:30
