What do you expect from someone who's ON CRACK!enigma said:what a moron. Mailing crack cocaine in the mail... like they don't have dogs who can sniff for that stuff.
No sympathy for the morbidly stupid.
The case involves a 560-pound inmate in the US who argued that he was too large to be held in a regular prison cell and requested a special accommodation.
The court ruled against the inmate, stating that his size did not pose a significant risk to his health and that accommodations could be made within the prison system to accommodate his needs.
The inmate argued that his size put him at risk for serious health issues, such as heart attacks and breathing problems. However, the court found that the prison had medical staff and equipment to monitor and treat any potential health problems.
While this case has received media attention, it is not the first of its kind. Courts have previously ruled against similar requests by obese inmates, stating that prisons are equipped to handle their medical needs.
Some may argue that the inmate's size should be taken into consideration and that denying his request for special accommodations is a violation of his rights. Others may argue that prisons have limited resources and should not have to make special accommodations for one individual.
