MIAMI - A Florida man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison
for trying to break back into the jail where he had been held
following his conviction in a manslaughter case, local media
reported on Wednesday.
A judge sentenced Sylvester Jiles, 25, to the maximum 15-year
penalty on Monday after his conviction earlier this year for the
attempted break-in at the Brevard County Detention Center, the
Florida Today newspaper said.
He apparently feared violent reprisals from family members of
the manslaughter victim and suffered severe cuts when he tried
scaling a 12-foot-high barbed wire fence to break into the
jail.
The newspaper said Jiles had been released on probation from the
jail a week before he tried to force his way back inside.
