In many state, all people sent to prison will have thier DNA taken. That way there is a data base for future use. DNA can help in future drug convictions also

They are creating a DNA database to check against for other crimes. Anyone (except for the moment juveniles) convicted of a felony gets the DNA test. There is a bill in the works now to make mandatory DNA testing for all crimes misdemeanors, felonies and for all age groups.

So his DNA is in a national database. When a crime is committed they can check the database and see if the DNA of a current or former prisoner matches.

A drug conviction is usually one of the first steps to becoming a repeat offender. So that is why, because he will probably be back in shortly.

To check their record of all crimes.If they find anything they are charged in prison. A high percentage of back crime was solved this way.
