An overweight prisoner in the United States is suing the authorities for not feeding him enough after he lost about seven stone (45kg) in jail.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell, who is awaiting trial for murder, dropped to 22 stone (140kg) after eight months inside the Arkansas prison.
He claims his vision has gone blurry while trying to exercise.
quote:
He then goes on to complain about the lack of physical exercise, adding: "The only reason we lost weight in here is because we are literally being starved to death."

Hmmm...
Starved to death? I think not.

People were suing people for businesses making them fat.....
Is this going to be the new trend?

He weighed 411 lbs. and now weighs 308 lbs. Sounds like he could have afforded to lose weight. 3000 calories a day? No wonder I hear of people going to jail just to get three squares a day. That's a pretty big square!

And Barry voted against a bill that would prevent frivolus lawsuits such as this one.

Great, now everybody is going to try to get into that prison to lose weight.
Mark my words people, it's coming - yes, it's the The Prison Diet.

A choke sandwich and some mustard packets. Perhaps even a hunny bunny or dunkin stinks for good measure.

Be the first to write the book, Jack, and make millions on the talk-show circuit alone! You might get to jump on Oprah's couch!
