    Prison isn't a disincentive. It's a punishment.

    The longer they stay in prison, the older they get. The older they get, the less likely they are to commit more crimes.

    For chronic adult offenders, however, the average IQ is 85, 1 standard deviation below the population mean. A study of Texas inmates who entered the prison system in 2002 indicated that approximately 23% of the inmates scored below 80, almost 69% scored between 80 and 109, and only 9.6% scored above 110 (Ellis & Walsh, 2003).
