The letter reads like Reiser thinks the firmware bug is fixable, and it’s more a case of nurture over nature. Don’t know if that’s true, but it’s not unthinkable.

I think murder has an exceptionally low recidivism rate mainly because if you do get out of prison after serving your time you probably don't want to do it again, and you might never be put in a situation where you need to do it again.
I wonder if it's just that people are old by the time they get out.
That too. People over 55 are classified as "elderly" in the federal prison system. The crime rate of those over 35 is significantly lower than those under.
I've certainly encountered the opposite - folks who probably would have lived healthy productive lives, but were subject to some terrible event during some formative time and negatively impacted by it.
