He must like jail, writes the New York Daily News about a 69-year-old bank robber accused of robbing a busy Manhattan bank one day after finishing his 22-year prison sentence…for robbing banks. But turns out he was a bit rusty: Instead of a gun, he chose to wield a knife. And instead of demanding money from the teller, he tried to force the customer service to hand over its (non-existent) dough. Apparently, robbers are the most likely demographic to return to crime once they’re released from jail—almost 70 percent do.
