It’s not every day that a man will go to the police station and ask to be sent to prison, but then again we don’t have the life of Santo Gambino. The 30-year-old Sicilian from Villabate (outside of Palermo) got pinched for dumping hazardous materials illegally, so he got some jail time. He spent sime time behind bars, then got put on house arrest. He decided he’d rather spend the rest of his time in jail than live with his wife.
The worst part of the whole story? He didn’t even get to go back to jail. Police charged him with violating the terms of his sentence and then sent him home! Ouch!
Your marriage has to be in trouble when you’d rather be locked up in a concrete dungeon than living at home with your family. Or living at home with a soft bed, good food, television, and the occasional nagging of your wife. Things would have to be pretty rocky for me to beg to go back to jail.
