thats one way to keep yourself in jail, ***....Why would he go to the beach of all places too?
And DOC should take notice of this event and make them wear the electronic bracelets so they have the ability to track work release prisoners if need be. Also maybe the employer should keep a better track of their employee's especially work release prisoners, due to the high risk of them pulling something like this.
