Are isolation and rootlessness major causes of recidivism?

In other words - the fact that criminals don't have a job or home to go to (friends, family, etc)......this a major reason why they re-commit crimes that send them back into prison?





When offenders are released, do they get any help securing employment, etc. or are they released without assistance? CuriousAre isolation and rootlessness major causes of recidivism?
There are hundreds (if not more) theories as to why offenders tend to commit crimes again. It varies by institution, but many institutions now offer assistance inside and after release to help people secure steady work and get back on their feet after their debt to society is paid off.Are isolation and rootlessness major causes of recidivism?
Recidivism is caused by an unrehabilitated criminal. They may use excuses, but, those are not causal and certainly not major causes.
