Walter Unbehaun has spent nearly all of his adult life behind bars, so it’s not surprising that he faces sentencing Thursday for yet another crime, a bank robbery last year. His reason for robbing the bank is surprising, though: He was homesick for prison.

But living alone and feeling unhappy, Unbehaun decided to change his situation by committing a crime in order to get caught.
