Let’s see, he’s suing Benton County, Arkansas, so I’m guessing it’s a county jail. Then his ACLU snake blames President Bush for the penal system. Hmmmm.

He used to be over 400 lbs. He’s lost about 100 lbs. Somehow, I doubt the remaining 300+ qualifies as “skin and bones.” He’s probably just panicking because he can see his feet for the first time in years.

It’s not right!
Prisoners are fed 3,000 calories a day? What? So they can be strong enough to pump iron and lift weights and gain muscle mass so they can eventually be released only to be able to better beat people up?
Prisoner diets should be restricted to 1750 calories.
Yours truly,

Laswell has been charged along with a co-defendant for fatally beating and stabbing a man, then setting his home on fire.IF guilty....he's lucky he's not swinging from a very sturdy rope.

I’m surprised when people ask this question on John’s threads. John Semmens is a fellow FReeper who writes exquisite satire. I’m a big fan (and have been for some time now).
Check out his previous threads - it’s worth the effort.

Well, in Arkansas, I suppose he would be considered skinny!
Funny stuff.

Even at a Milan runway 300 pounds, his neck might still snap.

So is the story for real, if he writes satire? :-)
I’ll try to check out previous posts by Mr. Semmens when I get a chance! :-)

Dude oughta be paying the jail for helping him lose the weight instead of complaining!! His health is surely improving as well!! Some of those ‘fat farms’ out there charge an arm and a leg for what he’s getting for ‘free’! :-)

Unfortunately, unless he gets the death penalty, he’s going to be eating on the taxpayers’ dime for many, many years.

People pay a lot of money to go to fat camps to lose weight like that! Arkansas should rent out cells in their jails to fat people who want to lose weight!.
