Michigan Robber Asks For, Gets Lengthy Sentence
Wow, he must really have faith in the prison system to hope to rehabilitate behind bars. If his intentions are true, I hope he does.

| ADRIAN, Mich. - Ask and you shall receive in Lenawee County Circuit Court. A man who pleaded guilty to unarmed robbery faced no more than a year in the county jail but asked to be sent to prison instead to help his chances of rehabilitation. Michael Thomas Isaacson got what he wanted on Thursday when a judge sentenced him to 17 months to 15 years in state prison, with a recommendation for a psychological evaluation and counseling. Isaacson told Judge Timothy P. Pickard he believes programs available in state prisons will help him "get back on my feet," while a year in the county jail would leave his situation the same as when he was arrested. Isaacson was caught minutes after robbing a movie theater employee, who was carrying a bank deposit bag. Isaacson said he had no gun during the robbery. |

Sounds like a person who was down on his luck and is using the court and prison system as a free ride to an education because he could not afford to figure out a way to do it honestly. Not sure I agree with the judge on this corse of action but I guess it is better than him sitting in jail for a year and doing it again. I guess I have mixed feelings about this.
