This is one of of the stupidest reasons to let somebody have a reduced sentence! Hello, if you didn't commit crimes, then you wouldn't have to deal with this. I just hope this jerk learns his lesson, even if it doesn't look like it

A reduced sentence!! !? How about a reduced DIET!? WTF is this world coming to?

I am interested in knowing what kind of foods are served in prison. Macaroni and Cheese?

I thought prison was all about the prisoners? Let him eat cake!!

Damn conservatives wanting to punish a person who obviously committed the crime due to his social status which was put in place by evil conservatives!! !

Back in the day of the chain gangs, REAL chain gangs, he wouldn't have been fat for long.

well, if they're overweight, they're out of shape, run more slowly, have less stamina, and are easier to catch, which makes the police's job that much easier... that's what I'm thinking...

What ever happened to just bread and water?

I love the fact gangsterism is a real word...

So.. criminal tip .. when in danger of incarceration, eat like there is no tomorrow for a shorter jail term!

OMG! What's next:

he's a white man with 1bil ponds who saved my daughter so lets scrap the life sentance thing and give him 1 hour of jail.

I think it makes sense that the judge ordered that the jail has to see to his basic needs. Every convinct needs a bed he can lay in, a stool he can sit on, and meals that provide adequate nutrition without causing him to become even more unhealthy. If the Law is meant to apply to all people equally, its punishments should also apply equally.

That being said, in the interest of justice, his term should NOT be shortened, unless his time being inadequately provided for has caused some real damage. I hardly think it has. If the food is a problem, give him NORMAL PORTIONS and slip him some vitamins. If that means posting an armed guard to prevent a second trip to the food line, so be it! And then exercise the #$@# out of him for his own good. Throw him on a bike and make him pedal. Five years of that, and ANYONE is gonna get healthier.

The guy is in there because he made bad decisions about how to live his life. If the Law is gonna lock him up under the pretense of being able to do a better job of making these decisions until he gets his act together... I think it needs to step up and do its job.
