Mitch Winehouse, father of beehived bandit Amy, has told the News of the World that he wants his daughter to be sectioned. Just yesterday there were reports that Amy didn’t want her husband to come out of jail. What is it about this family that makes them want to incarcerate their closest relatives so much? Love?
