2. Longfellow:

   In the life of every man there are sudden transitions of feeling, which seem almost miraculous.

However, the answer is to deal with the conditions that create prison radicalization – an inability to isolate charismatic Islamist recruiters, for example – not stop sending those who broke the law to prison.
