So the guy breaks in through the front door, looks directly at the security camera, then steals several computers - all of which have serial numbers that can be traced, particularly if anyone ever goes online with any of them.

So... How long till this idiot is busted?

Apparently in Council Bluffs they're even dumber!

Hey buddy, here's a plan. If you want to rob a bank, do it in broad daylight with nothing to cover your face. Do it in front of a full-color security camera. Genius.

When you got nothing to live for, why not broad daylight. Quick cash, go get buzzed then go to a nice hotel room and free food, the crooks got it good in Jail.

Yeah, that's probably true. The Council Bluffs guy did have a bit of a homeless look to him.

A good buddy of mine, who spent most of his adult life in prison before coming clean and changing his life, has often said that prison really wasn't that bad for him. He also said that a lot of convicts, when released, will pull some stupid criminal stunt, knowing they'll get sent back to prison.

I don't get it, but I'm sure that for some people that's true.

Prison provides three square meals a day, clean clothes, beds, free cable TV and access to a gym, church group of your choice and even jobs to earn yourself some money while you're there. It's not really that hard to imagine why someone would find it easier to live in prison than in the real world. Some felons can't get work once they're released. If the offense was violent or had anything to do with theft even McDonald's wont touch you unless someone pulls some strings for you. The point of going to jail is to rehabilitate the attitude of the person so they can become better people, not to be treated like less than s*** when they get out. It's discouraging to them making it very difficult to make healthier decisions for their lives because their options are so limited. My husband used to train temp workers a couple years ago and heard a lot of stories about people being unable to get anywhere in life because of their past. A lot of them have been in and out of prison many times because it's easier to give up than face everyday being treated like you're still a criminal. It's really sad.
