An Oregon woman who called in fake bomb threats to elementary schools asked for a higher prison sentence so she could take advantage of programs behind bars Tuesday.
Jenelle Robyn Pinkston, 47, persuaded a Eugene judge to tack an extra year onto the two-year sentence prosecutors had recommended, according to the Register-Guard.

I sort of look at it this way.. she knows she has some issues. She probably can’t afford psychiatric care and/or medication. Maybe this is her only chance to truly get help for herself. If so.. I wish her the best of luck.

She looks just exactly like a woman who would hang around calling bomb threats into elementary schools in a Stephen King novel.

Our county jail provides good health care and dental. We had an old guy from out of town get jailed on a regular basis just for the freebies.
