300 Pound Inmate Whines That He Doesn’t Get Enough Food

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - 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.

    poor baby. they might have kept his fat ass from dying of an exploding heart. cant believe you can kill someone and then file a lawsuit for the prisons ‘menu’. that takes alot of nerve!

  2. blastdad( typical white patriot)

    What attorney would ever file his suit?…..Oh man that was a dumb question, sorry I asked.

    Seems you can’t get though a day without some kind of freak show smacking you in the face these days. :???:

    Why don’t you go to the other inmates and ask them if you can “eat they cornbread”. Please find out what a shiv is before you ask…

    Really, you ought to be PT’d from can ’til can’t and get the fat tray, no doughnuts for you fatbody. Just think of all the rich folks who pay big money to “starve” like you and would love to be able to lose 100 pounds in 8 months.

    Okay … I am wondering WHAT THE HELL the little black square is covering in that picture:

    1) judging by the size of the square, whatever it is is mighty small (in the scope of all else)

    2) THAT is WHERE “IT” is LOCATED on HER??!! :shock:

    BTW

    You go to just about any doctor and ask for a proper [diet], and it usually consists of 1500-2000 calories/day … and that is NOT to be contained in three mega chocolate bars, a gallon of ice cream, or a super-mega-size-me fast food meal. Proper portions of fats and carbs …

    But then, let us NOT forget, Inmates, as we are told by the left, are victims of this damned country and our damned ways. So, inmates continue to be victims of society and the system when you throw their fat-asses in jail and then use tax dollars to house, care for, and feed them …

    was that a reference to the movie ‘life’? funny movie

  9. allahlovesporkchops

    I think the little black box is covering a nip. And I think the three little people she ate are still alive.

    Let me tell you something, these fuckin’ inmates get too many fucking priveleges. I work for the North Carolina Dept. of Corrections and you wouldn’t believe the shit these fuckers get. I work work at a medium security prison with murders, rapists and child molesters. These pieces of shit get a canteen where their family can keep a banking account for them to get all kinds of goodies. Example:
    Ice cream, candy bars, soda, burritos, cakes, chips, etc.
    They just recently started having birthday parties for them, they have all these volunteers come in on Christmas with carts and carts full of shit. What do they give those of us who work 12 hour shifts during Christmas? Nothing, we bring shit for eachother. What do we get for birthdays? Not so much as a shitty card. There is so much bullshit they do to appease these little fuckers. They watch us closer than the inmates. So, the fact that this fat fuck thinks he can sue because his fat ass is losing weight, this doesn’t surprise me.

    100 lbs in eight months? Does this loser have any idea how much some people would PAY to lose weight that quickly?

    “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.”

    Sheriff Joe out here in Maricopa county,AZ could squeeze him for a price, just in time for summer too.

    You got that damn right! :beer:

    They should figure it up according to the average of weight-loss clinic fees, and charge (whatever is left of) his fat ass.

    Then, for every additional 10 lbs. thereafter, he should be charged.
