Final answer:

The key to desistance is the individual's own motivation to stay out of trouble post-incarceration.

The most important factor when considering desistance is:

  • A) the inmate's ability to find employment.
  • B) frequent meetings with a parole officer.
  • C) counseling and substance abuse programming.
  • D) the individual inmate's desire to remain free.

Research shows that desistance from crime is significantly influenced by the individual's own motivation to lead a law-abiding life after release.
