Yeah, I don't think he wanted to be out for whatever reaons.
Most of the time upon release, they give the innates a single set of clothes and maybe enough money for bus fair to the closest big city and that's it... If you don't have family or someone willing to support you for a few months, you'd basically just wasting everyone's time. You'll be back one way or the other, and at least this way you'd be sure not to miss any meals.
This shit can happen a ton. When I was a drunk tank guard you'd sometimes book people again anywhere from 15 mins to a couple hours after they were released.
He was released from jail, not prison.
You aren't wrong about how fucked the justice system is, but it is worth knowing that there is a difference.

This is just really sad. at one point this man was a kid with dreams of becoming an astronaut or a firefighter just like everyone else. And along the way and over the years he fell into this state, where he feels that the only means of survival he has, or his best chance of survival, is as a warden of the state, or through various crimes to make a quick buck.
I had someone steal a Guitar Hero where I worked and the security in the town picked her up and brought her back to wait for the police.
The police officer when calling in her details found out she was on a lunch break from court, where she was on trail for theft....

Yeah, it is among a handful of other states that have open government acts, which means all of that stuff is a matter of public record basically immediately after it happens.
I'm sure I saw something similar on Reddit lady week, guy left court and broke into a McDonald's delivery truck. Might have been same guy not sure.
Why does American news always provide names and even faces to accompany their articles? Are there no ethical standards or privacy regulations in place?
It's one of the more subtle aspects of public shaming in the us the previous John Oliver episode missed

Florida has laws in place to look up police records with such ease that make it possible to disclose these wacky stories.
Yeah even if you get pardoned by the state for a crime and your record is cleaned up, the news articles are still out there. Messed up!
Just goes to show how our prison system is in no way focused on rehabilitation/re-entry in to society.
I was asking a friend who is actually from Florida about why there are so many Florida.man stories and was told it was likely due to sunshine laws in Florida allowing "journalists" to just stalk the latest batch of sunshine law releases to play to an Internet meme for free clicks. Era may want to rethink the generalization and the meme
Yeah, here in Sweden (and I'm guessing most of Europe) it's just "a man" or similar until there's a guilty verdict. Which is how it should be.
Even with a guilty verdict I find it quite appalling. Feels like medieval shaming mentality crap. I just can't believe is still allowed. Pillories have no place in [current year argument].
Sure, I guess. But once the trial is done anyone can request the information, so it's freely available if you want it anyway.
