BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) - An inmate awaiting trial on a murder charge is suing the county, complaining he has lost more than 100 pounds because of the jailhouse menu.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food.
According to the suit, Laswell weighed 413 pounds when he was jailed in September. Police say he and a co-defendant fatally beat and stabbed a man, then set his home on fire.
"On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out," Laswell wrote in his complaint. "About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again."
But Laswell then goes on to complain that he undertakes little vigorous activity.
"If we are in a small pod all day (and) do next to nothing for physical exercise, we should not lose weight," the suit says. "The only reason we lost weight in here is because we are literally being starved to death."
The suit also asks that the county be ordered to serve hot meals. The jail has served only cold food for years.
The meals, provided through Aramark Correctional Institution Services, average 3,000 calories a day, jail Capt. Hunter Petray told The Morning News of northwest Arkansas for a story Saturday.
A typical Western diet consists of 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day.
Laswell's suit was filed without a lawyer in U.S. District Court in Fayetteville.

It sounds bad when you put it that way.

I hope the attorney defending the jail is smart enough to point out that the caloric requirement to maintain 413 pounds is much much more than that of a person of reasonable weight.

He will be able to do Jared commercials from prison for Oscar Meyer Bologna.

who says crime doesn't pay?

If I was the judge, I would say if you want twice the food you can get twice the sentence.

Sounds reasonable....but expensive twice as much food for twice as long...

We can just tax twice the amount to twice the people.

Just put him in the chair and give him twice the Juice!

300 pounds and he's complaining he doesn't weigh enough, what a fucking slob.

Obviously this character is an idiot, if he had sense he'd come to the same conclusion Buttless did and realise he's not being fed too little, he's just not being fed as much as he would like.
And just to poke fun at his idiocy a bit more, "Police say he and a co-defendant fatally beat and stabbed a man, then set his home on fire." You'd think the fatal beating would have been enough. And unless he was trying to cover up evidence (in which case it was a big fuckin' time fail), what's the point in burning down this fellas house? To piss him off? To draw attention away from a fresh crime scene?
