What it’s like for Aaron Hernandez in jail

Hernandez’s day begins at 6 a.m. when a slot in the door is opened and his breakfast tray arrives.

“He’ll get an egg — one egg, and a portion of grits,’’ said Hodgson. “He’d likely get a small muffin square and a choice between milk or juice. We actually serve Tang now to cut costs. But believe it or not, it actually has a higher nutritional value than orange juice and it’s cheaper.’’

When Hernandez initially arrived, he asked about quenching his thirst. Officers pointed to the sink.

Hernandez has to clean his cell by 8, when officers inspect it for “proper decorum.”

1. I don't know how a football player won't still be hungry.

I know, I know, he should have thought of that before he killed someone.

But, he's not the only big guy who will be getting that same breakfast.

I weigh more than 100 pounds less than he does and I eat more than that for breakfast. I need a filling breakfast.

I'd much rather skimp on supper. Don't enjoy grits, either, but, if I were hungry enough, I'd have them.

2. Coincidentally, which also serves as the urinal...

4. They still make Tang?

I used to love that stuff.

8. Half a bottle cleans your dishwasher!

Makes it look like new! The most unbelievable transformation I've ever seen in my home. My dishwasher was brown inside…disgusting…put in a half-bottle during an empty wash cycle and WOW! Smells good too!

9. I did not know that.

We'll have to give that a try.

5. I bet I could finance my whole retirement on just his last full paycheck!

At the very least, it would buy a whole shitload of gas, bass bait and beer! And that's all I'm really asking for. I could be perfectly happy just hanging out and fishing near my home town the rest of my days.

6. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Now I can't enjoy my day off, knowing about his situation.

7. Where are all our DU posters

who think prison is torture?

I guess Hernandez is not as cute as Tsarnaev.

11. For the record, mandatory life is inhumane.

Maximum security prisons are inhumane. The one he is in is cold and sterile and human contact it minimal. It is an indication of society's laziness and lack of creativity that we don't do something better.

10. Jail sucks.

So does being murdered.
