CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A longtime inmate who was recently released from prison pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to robbing a bank in Wyoming and asked a judge to impose the maximum sentence, saying going back to prison would be like going home.
Just a week after the robbery, Linda P. Thompson, 59, waived her right to a grand jury proceeding and entered the plea to a bank robbery charge.
Thompson said she had already spent about 18 years in prison for various crimes.
"Prison is home to me so I'm just going back home," she said.
