A felon in Jinan of Shandong Province who had been in jail for three months returned to crime immediately after his release.

He said he believed that life behind bars wasn't so bad. Days ago he was thrown into prison again.

When Chen was locked up for robbery in 2004, he passed the time watching TV and playing cards. His family members visited him frequently, bringing him tasty food.

Within two days in 2005 after his release he committed five robberies for which he was sentenced to 13 more years in the big house.
