Maria Brunner, of Poing, Germany, was willing to go to jail to get a break.<\/p>\n
Brunner\u2019s husband is unemployed, so she supports their three young children by cleaning other people\u2019s houses. Even without a job, her husband managed to run up $5,000 worth of unpaid parking tickets. The husband kept the tickets a secret, but as the owner of the vehicle, Maria was responsible. She couldn\u2019t pay the fine, and unless her husband could come up with the money, she would spend three months in jail.<\/p>\n
She welcomed the thought. \u201cI\u2019ve had enough of scraping a living for the family,\u201d she says. \u201cAs long as I get food and a hot shower every day, I don\u2019t mind being sent to jail. I can finally get some rest and relaxation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police reported that Maria repeatedly thanked them for arresting her.<\/p>\n
