15 May 2007: Escaping to jail

A 24-year-old Sicilian man decided that being in jail would be better than being at home.

He was being held under house arrest in connection with the sale of counterfeit CDs, but deliberately broke the terms of his arrest by going outside. He then waited for the police to arrive and welcomed them, saying "I'm glad to see you".

He told police he would prefer to be in jail than at home, because of his mother and stepfather's constant arguing.
