From some articles that I have read it explains how most killers that are released because of their so called change of heart go back to killing again after.

The cause of this compulsion is motivated by mental illness, a sense of duty to a particular person or entity, or it is a way to release pent-up frustrations that the killer does not have the emotional capability to handle.
