US prisoner sues over weight loss
Quote:
An overweight prisoner in the United States is suing the authorities for not feeding him enough after he lost about seven stone (45kg) in jail.
Broderick Lloyd Laswell, who is awaiting trial for murder, dropped to 22 stone (140kg) after eight months inside the Arkansas prison.
He claims his vision has gone blurry while trying to exercise.
The prison says the meals average 3,000 calories a day - more than the US recommended daily intake for adults.

Is this bloke having a laugh? I know some people that believe if you are a prisoner you should have bread and water, IMO that is a bit harsh but how can this bloke even consider legal action against the prison??
