So basically, a man was convicted, sentenced, and released on bail. Then they forgot to tell him to report to prison.

Ah. I was wondering why I felt 3% more likely to commit a crime.

I'm using this story as a discussion article for my corporate English students tomorrow. Pretty interesting when you really dig down into why we send people to jail. Seems horribly unfair that nothing happened to him when he cousin was sent to jail but jail's just so hideously expensive it seems hard to justify paying the huge amount of cost that jailing him now would hit people with when there doesn't seem to be anyone that'd really benefit from it.

Also, isn't 13 years a bit long for armed robbery in which nobody was hurt and all that was taken was the contents of a cash register? Maybe Korea's the other extreme but here people get like five years for rape... o.O

nevermind, misread the article.
