Broderick Lloyd Laswell of Bentonville, Arkansas, is suing the Benton County Jail for putting him on a starvation diet that has caused him to lose more than a hundred pounds. When he was first booked for murder, Laswell weighed 413 pounds, but after just eight months in jail, he was down to a frail 308. There’s obviously something wrong with a prison system that uses hunger as a means of manipulation and control, and if Broderick goes under 280, I say we go to the feeding tube before we have another Terri Shiavo situation on our hands.
