Convicts Prefer Prison To Life At Home

<snip>

SOME New Zealand convicts were pleading to return to prison rather than serve out their sentences at home, claiming life on the outside was too tough, officials said today.

New Zealand's Corrections Department confirmed 13 inmates on home detention had asked to be locked up in prison after finding they could not cope with their family situation.

Home detention is an alternative to prison granted to convicted criminals regarded as not posing a danger to their family or community.

It allows them to live at home and continue work under close scrutiny from prison authorities.
