Serendipity 7,821 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ex-convict David Potchen walked into a local small-town bank in Indiana and told the teller to give him all their money.He walked out with $1,600 and sat down to wait for the police.Potchen, who said he’d tried his best to earn a living after getting out of prison, wanted to go back to the place where he actually worked and earned money and didn’t have to sleep in the woods.When Indiana Judge Clarence Murray heard the evidence, he offered Potchen an alternative to prison. Instead of sentencing the man to 13 years, Murray asked aloud in his courtroom if anyone could give him a job. A local reporter wrote a story about it, and “the owner of a nearby trucking company decided it was time to show a little faith,” reports NBC News. “David Potchen is now a full-time welder, and a good one, too.”Apparently he is about as happy and loyal as a worker could be.

Guest Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is such a nice story. It's a little saddening when life in prison is better than life out of prison for some people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I wish him a good life. It's a shame that ex-convicts can't proceed with a normal life after they've done their time. They did their time, the punishment should stop when they come out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy 495 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is amazing. I wish more judges, and not only judges, but more people gave people chances to prove themselves has a better and changed person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 52,861 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 no doubt couldnt find a job because of criminal record... kinda sad that once a person finishes their time, instead of getting a second chance they continue to get tourmented i still find the justice system in most places harsh tbh. unless its a murder or rape, some sentences are just way too long. 1 year in prison must feel like an eternity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
