Part of My Family is Missing the Logic Gene

Update on my younger WOAC (Waste of a cousin). As condition of her parole, she had to attend a rehab program and then go to a halfway house. Well, she finished the rehab program. Even wrote a letter to my grandma asking for money for cigarettes...uh, no. But when my aunt took her to the halfway house they "didn't like the looks of it" and "it was in a bad part of town". (hello? anywhere you are is a bad part of town.) So they turned around and went home, and the next day the police came and took my WOAC back to prison because that's apparently somehow better than a shady halfway house. Who are these people?
