BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A 59-year-old German man who has spent the last 34 years in jail has turned down offers to be let out, an official said on Saturday.
"He rejected an offer to leave in 1992," Thomas Melzer, a spokesman for the Brandenburg state justice ministry, told Bild newspaper. "We can't do anything if someone sentenced to life in prison doesn't want to leave."
The man, identified only as Gerold H, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1972 when the area was part of communist East Germany.
German prisoners have no obligation to agree to leave jail before their sentences have been completed.

Now of course I'm going to analyze the situation a bit differently (Cause I'm like that) and speculate that maybe, just MAYBE he might be afraid of someone 'on the outside' coming after him...I mean he did apparently murder someone....
Ok ok, enough with the bull, because even IF that was true, if it were me I'd be gone before they even finished the sentence. Apparently he must like prison. (Isn't that NOT supposed to happen?)
dude, run, don't walk for the door. I was tempted to put this in the good crack forum, but thinking it's wayyyyy more than crack!
yup homie sure did as well as "Ich mag die Nahrung hier" (I like the food here)
heeeey King.
at before they even finished the sentence.
