The American who tore up his own tourist visa on landing in North Korea and demanded to be arrested so that he could experience prison life in the communist nation has been sentenced to six years hard labor for entering the country illegally to commit espionage.
Matthew Miller, 24, of Bakersfield, California, looked thin and pale at his trial in Pyongyang on Sunday, as he was handed out his sentence.
Miller, who looked thin and pale at the trial and was dressed completely in black, is one of three Americans now being held in North Korea.

"American who tore up tourist visa so he could be imprisoned 'to experience human rights abuses in North Korean prison' is sentenced to six-years hard labor in communist country"
See, dreams really do come true!
What an idiot.
Sounds like a world class dumbarse who is going to get exactly what is coming to him.
Alex...I’ll take “Second Thoughts” for $100.
he will love his ounce of rice a day
Any comments from the parents about what a good boy he is?
Gotta be a lib, same type of thinking. “I voted for Obama because I wanted to see how a commie radical Muzzie loving nut would run the country”
BTW as a US tourist it might be a good idea to avoid problematic countries while we have a limp wristed anti American crypto commie-muslim in the white house.
Gee, you really do reap what you sow.
Stupid is as stupid does. Good thing he didn’t go to Syria and ask to be captured by ISIS so he could experience getting his head cut off. Then again, maybe that’s next on his stupid-a$$ bucket list...if he lives thru this one.
More like “America is sentenced to 8 years in communist country” which we’re six years into.
If this doesn’t make him a capitalist, nothing will. Same as an appreciation for living in the US and being a citizen.
Matthew Miller - well he is going to enjoy the home comforts of a Communist Utopia.
A Darwin Award candidate - and North Korea is not known as a prime vacation mecca.

“One witness said that young male inmates in North Korean prison camps became so desperate for food they would eat live worms or snakes caught in the field to feel something in their stomachs.”
Unfortunately he won’t have a chance to be a capitalist because this is just going to make him dead. North Korea doesn’t have enough food to feed its native population. What do you think the food situation is going to be for the American “spy” in that forced labor camp,
Miller won’t get special treatment on account of being American.
He’s lucky he didn’t get Kim Jong Il’s bullet in the neck. That would have been mercy.
"We finished our work and we were about to pick up this grass or the plant that we knew we could eat," Jee told the commission. "And then the guards saw us, and he came running and he stepped on our hands and then he brought us to this place and he told us to kneel."
They were forced to eat the grass along with the root and the soil as punishment. Kim became increasingly sick with diarrhea after eating the soil.
Darwin award winner!
He ain’t gonna survive 6 years in a North Korean Prison. You need to start out about 300 pounds overweight if you are going to survive. He’s already underweight and he hasn’t even started shoveling salt.
he will get treated worse for being an American, more likely
