Former Subway Spokesperson And Convicted Pedophile Jared Fogle Hates Life In Prison


Fogle writes that he is currently healthier than he's ever been before, despite the conditions: "We don't have a lot of control over our daily lives in prison but working out is one of the things I can control." He adds that he spends a lot of time watching football and shares, "I feel really good physically and mentally."

Fogle also reflects on what landed him in prison in the first place, though he doesn't seem willing to own up to the true seriousness of what he did. He writes, "I realize I royally screwed up to wind up where I am. I was selfish and entitled. I think about all the people I've let down every single day, especially my family. All I can do is learn from my stupid mistakes to be a better man when I get released in a few years."

The earliest that Fogle can be expected to be released in 2029, which is when he will have finished 85% of his sentence. He then shares what he misses about life on the outside, sharing, "Prison takes away so much but I really miss the small things like walking barefoot on carpet, sleeping on a nice comfy mattress, eating with real silverware, having access to a microwave."

Allegations against Fogle were first raised in 2007, when he told a journalist he was physically attracted to girls who were in middle school. Rochelle Herman-Walrond had become friends with Fogle and recorded many of the conversations they had over the course of four years. While the investigation into Fogle took several years, he was ultimately convicted.

Does he still have it I wonder?

Most people in his position spend their first 5-10 years out of prison at near homeless conditions due to not being able to work.

... evil for a lot more years than he will. No sympathy, no early release. He's never, ever talked about these children, other than to complain how much settlement money he's had to disburse. I hope he ends up in a prison cemetery grave marked only with a register number.

And of course he is not willing to consider the girls (well, they are women now) who he abused.
