Convict Finds Freedom Overwhelming, Starts a Fire and Heads Back to Jail

What's scarier than being locked up in a Texas prison for 26 years?
Returning to a world you no longer recognize.
.
For Randall Lee Church, 96 days of being back in society was quite enough,
so he sent himself right on back to jail. Overwhelmed by his new world, on
July 10, Church set an abandoned house on his friend's property on fire,
the San Antonio Express-News reports.
.
The fire didn't get going until later that night, and while he easily
could have gotten away with the act, Church turned himself in after three
days, asking a waitress to call the police after enjoying a last meal of
hamburger and fries at a local restaurant. He told police that he missed
his job as a janitor at his former prison unit, basically begging to be
taken back to the familiar and unchanging life he led for more than two
decades.
.
Church was put behind bars when he was just 18, convicted of murder after
a drunken fight gone wrong. Spending the all-important formative young
adult years in prison, Church left his sentence in April 2011 with no idea
what was waiting on the other side.
.
I didn't know how to use computers or cell phones, or the Internet, said
Church. His story is a reminder of the long-debated topic of prison reform
and the outstanding rate of former inmates that end up back in the pen.
According to studies, more than 4 out of 10 of adult offenders return to
prison within just three years of releaseobviously there's a problem here.
With people trying to get into prison for health care or even just regular
daily meals, there's a serious lack of support for these citizens who are
expected to return to society as reformed people.
