Β Were you ever lucky enough as a kid to have a parent forget to punish you? Β Rare, but it probably happened. Β The same happened to a Missouri man who was convicted for bank robbery, but nobody ever took him to jail until his sentence was up. Β That’s when they remembered. Β But now, 13 years later, things have changed. Β Mike Anderson has nowΒ started a business,Β gotten married, had kids, started volunteering, and generally become a model citizen. Β Because of the unique situation, the judge has released him. Β
Now think about stories we hear in Charlotte all the time. Β People go to jail, get out, and become repeat offenders. Β Or they go through the system, get some leniency with a monitor bracelet, and cut it off like the guy did this weekend. Β By the way, that guy is still on the run, unlike our man in Missouri, who turned his life around.
So does jail really work the way it’s supposed to?
