what an attention whore. why is this even news worthy.

[newfette]

she never should have left mexico in the first place

[SprCForr]

Canada has already jumped to serve her desires, do it again and rifle her right back into that Mexican jail cell.

[ridenrain]

For once I agree with the comments:

$1:

The bleeding heart Liberals who demanded that this woman be brought to Canada should have to pay back the approximately $100,000 that we the taxpayers spent to bring her here. It was so easy to see right from he beginning that this woman was guilty. Between the tears and pleas of her mother, and media interviews with Martin herself, plus the overtures of people such as Paul Martin and Paul Macklin, many people demanded that we get her out of that "awful Mexican prison" and the government caved in. What a pity!

Send her back. She's free to go, right? Just don't bother bailing her out next time she gets in trouble down there.

[Yogi]

As soon as she pays back the money we spent to get her sorry ass here, she's welcome to leave. Mexicos loss, our gain!

She didn't say she's GOING to return, just that she'd like to. SHe misses the good parts of her life there.

And tritium... it's newsworthy because people like you read the articles and take the time to comment. That's how it works.

The part that bugged me was:

$1:

Martin wrote, after being repatriated to Canada by federal authorities, her short stay at the Grand Valley Institution for Women, near Kitchener, Ont., made her long for a return to her Mexican jail cell.

She felt "threatened," she wrote, and was ready to go back to the jail her supporters fought so hard to free her from.

"Eight days into the Kitchener, Ont., prison, I was ready to go back to Mexico! I would much rather be in a Mexican prison than a Canadian one," she said.

"I think my 'celebrity status' put me in harm's way in Canada. A lot of the inmates had the attitude, 'You're a convicted felon, just like us; don't think you're going to get any special treatment.' I felt threatened."

After threatening to kill herself in a Mexican jail becuase it was so hellish, and with all the efforts made on her behalf, a negative experience in a Canadian jail (and here I thought that negative experiences were good for making criminals think twice about re-offending)made her want to go back to the hell of Mexico?

Come on, give me a break.

lily lily:

It seems odd, agreed. But I can understand what she'd mean about the celeb status. Who knows how people would treat her....


Isn't this all from a blog though?

One would hope she was treated crappy in prison...

Well, there's crappy and then there's crappy.

Our prisons are supposed to be safe and humane.

And I admit to forgetting some of the details of her case. Wasn't it a white collar crime? She wasn't in prison for murder or assault or anything like that, was she?

Well, we'll agree to disagree there. Safe and humane is one thing, but if a handful of bullies are making her life hell because the government bailed her out of a Mexican prison so she can spend some cushy time in a Canadian one - well, sucks to be her.

It was white collar crime - but she did it in Mexico. Sounds like you shouldn't do white colloar crime in Mexico.

[TattoodGirl]

Wow she wanted to go back to a Mexican prison...give me a break. Prisons here are as safe and humane as you can expect from a prison, but reality is...she was new kid on the cell block and has to prove herself...or she would become someones bitch. Its prison, it isnt supposed to be a cake walk.

Why would anyone want to go back to a country that allegedly screwed her over so bad?

I don't think she would qualify as a paper airplane scientist.

[ridenrain]

I think she's just waxing nostalgic for the sweet heart lifestyle she had when she was the "cook" for the crooks that got her into this mess in the first place.
Since she was such a prison posterchild of the lefties, maybe they could start a donation to buy her a one way bus ticket back there.

Drugs and money laundering pay in Mexico. She figured the Libs would be back in power and she could carry on with her investments in Canada

I guess they don't have any beauty pagents in the Kitchener Womens Prison.
