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.
Continue to 2nd paragraph
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.

Prisoner scaled jail wall

MALMO, Sweden (UPI) – A Malmo, Sweden, prison has come under fire after it emerged that a prisoner with mountain climbing experience scaled a prison wall.
The prisoner, who had trained for five years to become a mountain climber, successfully scaled the wall of the institution, but was caught 20 minutes later by a guard with a police dog, Swedish News Agency TT reported Wednesday.
Swedish Prison and Probation Service investigators have placed blame for the January incident on individual guards and the facility’s overall security procedures.
“It (the escape) was far too easy and went far too quickly,” the investigators said in a report.
