The prison rather than the house. A man under house arrest in Italy went to a police station asking to be put in prison because he found life at home with his wife unbearable, the gendarmerie explained on Sunday, October 24.
The man, a 30-year-old Albanian living in Guidonia Montecelio near Rome, “could no longer cope with forced cohabitation with his wife”, according to a statement from the riflemen of Tivoli, a neighboring town. “Exasperated by this situation, he preferred to flee and spontaneously present himself to the riflemen in order to ask to serve his sentence behind bars”, they continue.
The man had been under house arrest for several months for drug crimes and was to remain so for several more years, captain Francesco Giacomo Ferrante of the Tivoli riflemen told AFP.
“He was living at home with his wife and family. It wasn’t going well anymore”, he added. “He said: ‘listen, my domestic life has become hell, I can’t take it anymore, I want to go to jail.’ The man was immediately arrested for violating his house arrest and the judicial authorities ordered his transfer to prison.
