Former Inmates Sneaking Back Into Prison

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – An ex-inmate was arrested at California's New Folsom Prison after he was caught sneaking back onto the prison grounds nearly two years after his release. Marvin Lane Ussery, 48, was paroled in 2009 after serving time for a robbery charge at the prison in Sacramento, Calif., Fox40.com reports. Ussery reportedly returned to the prison grounds some time overnight Wednesday, and officers spotted him using thermal imaging equipment. Officials aren't sure why Ussery returned to the prison.


Red: These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.
Heywood: Shit. I could never get like that.
Prisoner: Oh yeah? Say that when you been here as long as Brooks has.
Red: Goddamn right. They send you here for life, and that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyway. 

Prison officials don't know why inmates are sneaking back into prison? They've never seen Shawshank? Faced with the comforts and familiarity in prison, or, an economic disaster, unemployment up the ass, natural disasters every 3 fucking weeks, and no good day time TV since Oprah left, what would you choose.  For sure you'd take those prison walls...3 square a day, quality hang time with the bros, and a free gym, and all the Obamacare you can get. 

Institutionalized indeed.
