    It’s not the case here, but fuckups tend to happen when the person is morbidly obese and therefore a vein can’t be found.

    Not making a point one way or another, just sharing a bit of information. This is a problem in the medical field as well.

      I used to think people stay years on death row. Are you saying you can stay morbidly obese on prison food?

        I believe that photograph is from 1999 when he got arrested. He was sentenced to death in 2000, so that’s over 20 years waiting. And yes, obesity is becoming a problem inside prisons too (prisonlegalnews.org).

        Not sure about death row, but many prisons have a commissary where you can buy junk food with personal funds either brought in with you from the outside or transferred from friends and family outside. Some people don’t get fat -until- they go to prison.

        Your question is so out of left field. I didn’t say anything related to the topic. But yes, there are actually obese inmates.
