对爱尔兰监狱释放的 19,955 名囚犯进行的后续研究显示，累犯率存在有趣的变化。在服刑期间偶尔被允许出于职业或家庭相关目的冒险外出的囚犯，被重新监禁的可能性要小得多。在囚犯最终获释四年后，这一情况依然成立，这清楚地证明了维持囚犯社会资本除了人道主义之外的好处。
A follow-up study of 19,955 releases from Irish prisons shows interesting variation in rates of recidivism. Prisoners who, during their sentences, were occasionally allowed to venture outside for vocational or family-related purposes were significantly less likely to be reimprisoned. This held true up to 4 years after their eventual release and is a clear empirical demonstration of the benefits, other than humanitarian, of maintaining prisoners' social capital.
