CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A woman who was recently released from prison in Oregon robbed a bank in Wyoming only to throw the cash up in the air outside the building and sit down to wait for police, authorities said Friday.
Investigators say 59-year-old Linda Patricia Thompson told them she wanted to go back to prison.

Thompson said she had suffered facial fractures after strangers beat her at a Cheyenne park last weekend.

She said she couldn't get a room at a homeless shelter and decided to rob the bank Wednesday because she could no longer stay on the streets, court records say.

She faces a detention hearing Tuesday on a bank robbery charge and doesn't have an attorney yet.
FBI Special Agent Tory Smith said in court documents that Thompson entered a US Bank branch in Cheyenne and handed a teller a cardboard note that said, "I have a gun. Give me all your money."

The teller turned over thousands of dollars.
Outside, Thompson threw money into the air and even offered some to people passing by, Smith stated. He added that Cheyenne police Lt. Nathan Busek said he found Thompson with a large sum of money when he arrived at the bank.

"Lt. Busek asked Thompson what was going on, and Thompson replied, 'I just robbed the bank, I want to go back to prison,'" Smith wrote.
Thompson had been serving time at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon, for a second-degree robbery conviction in Union County until her release in June, Betty Bernt, communications manager with the Oregon Department of Corrections, said Friday.

Thompson told investigators then that she didn't want to be released and advised the Oregon state parole office that she would not do well on parole.
An attempt to reach Thompson's parole officer for comment wasn't successful on Friday.

I feel her pain. Thank you Lord for your provisions in my life.

Sad.

Its like this: you spend a couple of years in prison. Pre-prison you were broke, had little money in your account, eating three square meals was a struggle and you had little to no job skills to get employed -- add to it Mexicans had already taken most menial jobs anyone can participate in.
You make a mistake, get arrested, go to prison. Here(prison) the meals come at the same time everyday; they're consistent, they don't taste good but cure hunger. You get to work and make a little money daily. Your hard-earned money is spent mostly on commissary(snacks and soft drinks) weekly. You have bunkmates and live in general population, you may not like them but always have the option of kicking some ass and getting locked in the hole - the hole guarantees privacy from almost every annoying person you can come across. You get used to the routine.

11 years later you get released back into a world which never wanted you. You surely now cannot get a job because been an ex-con has closed all doors to honest employment. You have outstanding bills from your prison stay. The meagre 120 dollars you racked up from years of prison work would last a week at most; you're back to square one but now worse off than your former point. Your body starts getting out of shape because in prison you put in hours to working out. Now in the real world all you chase is beer and sex to make up for lost time.
A few weeks later, reality dawns on you, you're flat broke now -- na prison win am.
