I've put this in the Dumb Justice category because it certainly wasn't the criminal who were dopes in this instance!

From Berlin comes the news that two convicts on day-release from prison have been caught tending a healthy crop of 1,200 cannabis plants!

The felons were on furlough so that they could find jobs for when they were released. Methinks they had actually set up their own job creation scheme. The valuable crop was found in a warehouse and was, apparently, destined for export to Holland. Ten out of ten for initiative.
