I understand that he was sentenced to prison for stealing a political poster - ridiculous to say the least.
What I do not understand is the WHY of his being in North Korea.
The State Department has travel warnings not to go there, yet he did. Why?

Yes
WHY would any of the people who are imprisoned there go to N.Korea? I am not talking about the people who have gone on business and been picked up on phony charges, but these young people who think they can change the world. If they want to do good, stay here in their own country and work to change the world here, there are plenty of opportunities to help our own citizens live a better life.
At one time, my young granddaughter got all fired up about being a missionary and changing the world with a bible. Thank goodness nothing came of that.
