The real life pirate was SMILING when he was being taken to prison.

There's some real life footage videos on youtube of the real pirate being taken to prison and he's smiling. One might think "Why is he smiling? He's going to prison for a long long time", but maybe he feels that he's better off in prison, he was extremely poor, now in prison he will get meals and a roof over his head. It sounds crazy, but look at it from his point of view.

I could guess it is because he became very (in)famous and thought to be a "celebrity".

I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems.

First thing I would've done when I was on the US Navy vessel was thank the guys who killed my captors, asked if any still alive..., then borrowed a .45 and put two in the last pirates head. Done!
