Walter Unbehaun, age 73, had spent most of his adult life behind bars. 
The South Carolinian had more than half a dozen convictions, ranging from petty theft to armed robbery. 
After Unbehaun was again released from prison, he realized he had nothing to live for. He wound up in a studio apartment alone, broke, and suffering from the early stages of dementia.
He decided that he needed to go back to prison. 
In 2013, Unbehaun walked into a bank. He told the teller, “This is a holdup. I have nothing to lose.” 
Unbehaun then opened his jacket to reveal a gun tucked into his waistband. He took $4,178 from the bank teller and left.
Unbehaun told police, “I just want to go home,” and he added that he “felt more comfortable in prison than out.”
