Jobless man steals to return for prison lunches

The food must be good in Taiwan's prisons.

About four months after a jobless ex-con asked police to return him to prison so he could have a meal, another homeless and unemployed ex-con in Taiwan was recently arrested so he could have a prison lunch, according to a Reuters story.

The man stole a box of cotton swabs just to get arrested again because he "could not forget the police department boxed lunches" officers and local media said in the report.

He first stole a pair of shoes on Sunday, and was detained and released. He then stole the next day so he could go back and get a free meal.
