He can no longer stand being with his wife and asks to go to prison

A man, who was to serve a sentence at home, went to the police station near Rome to ask to be locked up.

A man under house arrest in Italy went to a police station asking to be put in prison because he found life at home unbearable alongside his wife, the gendarmerie explained on Sunday. The man, a 30-year-old Albanian living in Guidonia Montecelio near Rome, "cannot cope with forced cohabitation with his wife", according to a statement from the carabinieri of Tivoli, a neighboring city.

"Exasperated by this situation, he preferred to flee and spontaneously present himself to the carabinieri in order to ask to serve his sentence behind bars," they continue. The man had been under house arrest for several months for drug-related crimes and he had to remain under house for several more years, said Captain Francesco Giacomo Ferrante of the Tivoli carabinieri.

"He lived at home with his wife and family. It was no longer going well, "he added. "He said: listen, my domestic life has become hell, I can't take it anymore, I want to go to prison". The man was immediately arrested for violating his house arrest and the judicial authorities ordered his transfer to prison.
