But we want them to be fat so when they run from the cops, they’re so much easier to catch!

Do think that taxpayers would give a damn about accommodating prisoners of different sizes? Most just want them to rot in jail and be forgotten. Granted, there is nothing wrong with leaving prisoners to rot in jail and be forgotten.

I like the idea of switching to vegies entirely. For one, it would cause prisoners to lack in protein to be able to benchpress excessively. Second, it would be cruel and unusual punishment. Lastly, because there would no longer be any fat asses being released from jail for being too fat.

The only draw back to the all vegie diet is that the jailers will have a much harder time preventing a skinny prisoner from escaping than from preventing a 400 lb prisoner that can barely fit through the jails sliding doors.

Prisons, like many places run at the taxpayers’ expense, should be more accommodating to those of different sizes.

This isn’t about the fatness of the man, but about the poor quality of the furnishings.

Needless to say, PETA’s fatphobia is obvious, and their message has been invalidated as biased too long ago to count.

On the other hand, why the prison simply didn’t replace the furnishings/amenities, or make the man do without them, is a good question.

If they switched them to vegies entirely, I bet the crime rate would go way down; prison would become cruel and unusual punishment.
