Although several things could be said about this chain of events, which explanation would be grounded in Durkheim's theory of the roots of deviance?

    The man suffers from anomie.

    Explanation:

    The change from the highly regulated prison environment to a comparatively free life outside caused the man to suffer from anomie. Anomie explains a form of defiance according to Durkheim's theory where there is conflict and breakdown in societal roles or standard that ought to guide behaviour. This breakdown creates forces that could cause deviance and crime
