...to escape wife gets home-confinement sentence

"A Kansas man who robbed a bank last September and told police that he
was hoping to get caught so he would get prison time to escape his
wife, was sentenced Tuesday to six months of home confinement after
pleading guilty, The Kansas City Star reported."

"...He told investigators he wrote the note in front of his wife,
telling her he would “rather be in jail than at home.”
