Ex-inmate gets 15 years for breaking into jail

[JonLP24]

VIERA, Fla. - A Florida man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for violating his probation by trying to break into the Brevard County jail.

A judged sentenced 25-year-old Sylvester Jiles of Cocoa on Monday. He was convicted in January of trespassing on jail property and resisting an officer.

Authorities say Jiles tried to climb a 12-foot fence at the Brevard County Detention Center in August. He was caught and hospitalized with severe cuts from the barbed wire. He had been released a week earlier after accepting a plea deal on a manslaughter charge.

Jiles had begged jail officials to take him back into custody, saying he feared retaliation from the victim's family. Jail officials said they couldn't take him in and told him to file a police report.

The promise of Spring, after all, IS in the very air we're breathing.

The more probable motivation (at least in my mind... although some of
you know the twists and turns things take to get in and out of there)
has put an earworm in my head.

2. He misread The Criminal's Handbook"

It clearly says one is to break into homes and to break out of jail.

3. Reminds me of a client our office once had

she had a very long affiliation with local law enforcement and had been on parole and probation for years. She lost her housing so she went behind the local jail and picked up the largest rock she could find and started smashing the window of a Sheriff's vehicle. Of course she was arrested immediately and when she went to court she told the judge "I'm through with trying to make it on my own. I want three hots and a cot. Send me to prison!" He did. For three years. I guess you could call it a win win situation.
