A 42-year-old American man, who attacked three financial institutions two weeks after his release for another bank robbery, is urging a federal judge to keep him in prison where he seems to enjoy it.
Terry Meach, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the maximum sentence under the law, stressed that a prolonged stay behind bars would not only curb his robbery impulses, but could help him get his act together and improve security. public.
“Please, would you consider giving me as much time as possible so that I can return to normal life in a controlled environment?” the defendant wrote in a letter to federal court judge Rodney Smith.
“I like the life I have in prison,” confessed the forty-year-old who mentions that prison prevents him from self-destructing and his stay in jail in some way ensures the security of the community, reported the “New York Post” Thursday.
The accused confessed to stealing US$2,419 from a bank in Hollywood in February, before doing it again four days later in Fort Lauderdale, stealing almost the same amount of money after threatening the cashier to whom he had told he was in possession of a bomb.
The repeat offender with a long pedigree who pleaded guilty to two counts of bank robbery and attempted theft received 20 years in prison, a maximum sentence he called for, added the American media.
