Why let people OUT of prison after their first major felony

Iacocca has said that the reason he served as chairman, and the reason
people gave money so readily, was that the donor, or the donor's
parents or grandparents had arrived at Ellis Island.  Something like

Ellis Island, and it only takes a few dollars from each to make a big
pile of money.
