The "high-moron types" return because "the world doesn't want them and they soon know it."

The ones who manage to leave are all high-moron types - not that we're getting many of those any more. Now we get more of the brain-damaged cases who require constant custodial care - but the high-morons can move around more freely, and after a week or so on the outside most of them come back when they find there's nothing for them out there. The world doesn't want them and they soon know it."
