A very, very smart fella. This poor guy might have no money, no place to stay, and he's hungry. Now he has a private room and get 3 meals a day. Hmmm, I'm thinking..........

... and he doesn't have to work ever again.

Seen the homeless go and sit in a no trespassing area and wait, they know the system but this guy was a little more creative..kudos to the guys planning, shame it came to that though that he thought was his only option. Average cost per year to incarcerate is $75k, yet we can't help someone out for far less and get them to contribute back to society on e they've received a hand up.

Sorry, we are talking about helping and others not politics or religion here fellas....

I think I would have eaten a meal at a good restaurant and then robbed them . Go to jail on a belly full of a good meal . Banks make me feel like puking .

For a Dollar ?

Maybe a $300.00 fine & sent on his way.
Even if he refuses to pay,
they should throw a dollar to the Bank & say case closed.

After all we don't want to have the bank need
to apply for a Bail out over the Loss af that Dollar

I don't think for a dollar he'd get time. That's Petty Larceny at it's worse

If I was there I would have handed the teller $2.00 & said at the end of the Day , throw him out on the street, If he sat inside

he had to wait you or not going anywhere on a dollar

What a number of posters seem to be inferring here is that there are a number of kinds of penal systems: isolation, retribution, restitution, and rehabilitation. Every country does it differently.

Our US private penal system is heavily isolative (just keep 'em out of society). Some countries have penal term of no greater than a few years for ANY crime. Why? If you can't be rehabilitated in three years, then you belong in an insane asylum, not a prison.

I'm not a fan of retributive systems--vengeance doesn't actually help victims, criminals, or greater society.

Restitution (in this case, $1) should be a part of every penal sentence.

Rehabilitation should also be a part of every penal sentence. There are all kinds of people who need all kinds of help. I'm a promoter of both public and private sector organizations who help those in need.

Interesting case, all the same.
