If you're going to do the crime you have to do the time... He might have actually been _trying_ to get back to prison. 3 hots and cot as they say.

What a deplorable state the UK is in.
Pensioners of 99 years needing to supplement their pittance hand-out from the Labour government by committing crimes.
