Winning hearts & minds... yet again

So Brenda... you're unhappy with the outcome here... when do we get our money back?
-- via ORATO -- The Canadian woman who threatened suicide to get out of a Mexican jail says she misses the beach and would happily return to Mexico if she could. "I could say right now that if the Mexican government was to give me a pardon, I would go back,"

The Correctional Service of Canada then chartered a private plane to bring her home — at a reported cost of $82,000.

Shockingly, Martin wrote, after being repatriated to Canada by federal authorities, her short stay at the Grand Valley Institution for Women, near Kitchener, Ont., made her long for a return to her Mexican jail cell.

Martin is currently on parole, living at her mother's home in Trenton, Ont.
