I came across this article. Yes, I'll admit, the first thing that came to my mind, when I saw the mans original weight and his current weight was, "Good! I'm sure it'll do your body good to shed a few pounds!!!"
I find it interesting because he says that while he is doing nothing while in jail, he's losing weight, and he's always feeling hungry. Ummm...ya think!! If you go from eating enough for 5 people, down to normal size meals, sure, you're going to notice and feel it. But to say that you're being starved...sorry, that seems a bit much IMHO.
Now, I know that prison meals are not 5 star restaurant quality and life in prison isn't as good as a 5 star resort..and IMO, it sholdn't be! Don't do the crime is you can't do the time! I worked for the DOC here in CT for a short period, so I'm aware of what they eat and the ammenities they get.
They get 3 square meals a day as well as the chance to get items from the prison store. Whether or not this place has one, I don't know, but the ones in CT. do.
