Is it possible to be hit with prison time that exceeds a life sentence or two -- or three?  It certainly is, and this was learned the hard way by a couple of career criminals who decided to hit up a bank. Myloh Mason was captured after becoming lucky number twelve in Colorado to be placed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's ten most-wanted list and he received 1,200 years in prison.  His co-conspirator, Miguel Sanders, landed 371 years in the can.  A third man, Tyrone Richardson, got a whopping 1,888 years. Recounting their story makes it easy to understand why they'll be spending their remaining years, to say the least, behind bars.

Apparently not the best at driving at high speeds, the three men took off in the mini-van, but wound up crashing it too.  So they tried to carjack a 30-year-old woman's vehicle, physically assaulting and shooting her in the process.  The woman was with her 53-year-old mother who the men punched in the face, breaking several of her bones.  After all of this, they jumped into the the car, but it wouldn't start.  So, yelling and cursing, they continued again on foot. Sanders ran from the other two man and entered a high school's bus depot, where he held a gun to a driver's head, a second weapon in his other hand, and told her to climb out of her bus.  She refused to cooperate and during the confrontation, the cops arrived, discovering Sanders hiding underneath the bus. Six days later, Richardson was also taken into custody.  It would take authorities two more months to nab Mason.  The men were each charged with more than thirty counts of their offenses. Mason and Richardson were determined to be habitual criminals, which is why they were hit hard with prison time.
