Escaped convicted killer, Ralph Whitfield Morris, returned to jail of his own volition on Friday. Morris, who had escaped from the minimum security facility in British Columbia's Fraser Valley, said he had been living in the nearby forest but couldn't stand the harsh conditions. He also said that he returned to jail because he realized he had done wrong.

I wonder if his conscience would have pricked him quite so sharply had he escaped to a white sandy beach and warm sunshine.
