he just wants some cake dammit!!!!!

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 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.

Laswell claims he 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.

"The only reason we lost weight in here is because we are literally being starved to death," the suit says. 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 diet consists of 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day.

sorry, I will not pay for a man to remain a fatass, thats not my job. I will help foot the bill to keep people like him away from anywhere were he can beat and stab me and burn my house down, but I am not going to keep him fat and happy. Don't wanna be skinny? Don't commit crimes and go to jail. the end.

Too bad he isn't locked up around here. Some places only give you about 1200-1400 calories a day.
