Bob is on his way somewhere, when he gets dragged into a heist, shootout or other illegal activity. It doesn't matter if he's a hostage, an innocent bystander, or trying to stop the criminals, he just got out of jail, so he knows the cops won't listen to him. Or he knows they're corrupt. Either way, he's either a Retired Outlaw or just that much more determined not to get caught and never go back to prison. Note that this trope applies to people who were released either on parole or due to their sentence being complete. Expect a Retired Gunslinger to be recently released about half the time. The same can be said of virtually any protagonist with a criminal background. If a genuine villain just got out of jail, he is a Falsely Reformed Villain or Karma Houdini. Examples |

At the end of the initial gunfight in Judge Dredd, Dredd arrests a man for tampering with a vending robot. When he realizes that the man he arrested was just released from prison (That very day), he adds a few years to the sentence. The reason the man had tampered with the robot was to have a hiding place from the shoot-out, which he had unknowingly walked into. | |

In My Name Is Earl, Earl gets released from prison, but finds he no longer has the apartment, the job, or girlfriend he acquired in Season 2, and spent all the lottery money he had left on a prom for the prison...and that life has gotten a lot tougher since no one wants to hire an ex-con. Even though he was in for a crime his ex-wife committed. This causes him to lose faith in Karma, and go back to his old ways. | |

In Reservoir Dogs, this is Mr. Blond's backstory, as he was caught in a warehouse full of stolen goods. The authorities offered him a deal if he would turn state's evidence on Joe, but he refused and served four years instead. This loyalty is why Nice Guy Eddie called bullshit when Mr. Orange claimed Blond was going to kill them and take off with the diamonds from the heist. | |

Batman: The Animated Series: "Harley's Holiday" Poor Harley gets released from Arkham after a psychologist clears her, but a series of misunderstandings winds up sending her right back. She'd even paid for that dress... Also, the Penguin did try to live an honest life and among Gotham's elites (which he believed possible thanks to Veronica Vreeland). While she cleared a misunderstanding when Batman wrongly assumed the Penguin was one of the muggers robbing her, it was eventually revealed to him she just wanted someone to be made a fool of at a party. He was so revolted he returned to a life of crime. |

It's heavily implied that this is the case with Ostap Bender in The Twelve Chairs (he wears a clean fancy suit and shoes but no everyday consumables like socks, and is homeless; the suit and shoes are implied to be given back to him upon release). This explains why he is extremely cautious about not violating the criminal code directly and enters Stargorod by foot to avoid run-ins with railroad police. | |

In Questionable Content, we first meet May as a hologram on a work-release program from Robot Jail, implied to be a server where criminal A.I.s exist, body-less. Her program is successful, and she soon appears with a body of her own, determined to reform. Most of her storylines revolve around being a recent ex-con, trying to find a job, and stay away from any hint of illegal activity. | |

In Family Guy, when Meg was sentenced to 3 months in prison, she had a hard time adjusting to the norms of the outside world. She rapes Peter with a loofah in the shower, uses a bucket in her bedroom to relieve herself in instead of walking down the hall to the bathroom, beats Peter and the popular kids at school who made fun of her (and then French kisses Connie to show dominance), and is hostile to everyone. It overlaps with Had to Come to Prison to Be a Crook. | |
