The new issue of In Touch on newsstands now details Jared's life behind prison bars including threats, physical attacks and constant taunting.
Jared a man who famously lost more than 200 pounds by eating at Subway has crossed the wrong people in prison and his only comfort has been found in food.
Hes really started packing on the pounds again, probably from depression, the prison insider, who estimates Jared to have gained 30 pounds already, says.

(12,157 posts)There is a real need for prison and jail administrators to protect their charges from attacks. When is the last time you ever heard of a prisoner being charged with sexual assault of another prisoner. Now if Fogle wants to eat himself to death that his business.
The prison systems have been corrupt my whole life and probably for much longer. When I first heard that prisoners often came out of prison with drug habits that made me wonder how the drugs got into the prison. Turns out its the staff making a little change on the side. Sounds like some of the screws need to be on the other side of the bars.

Each prison has a store system, or commissary, where inmates can purchase personal hygiene items, food, snacks, sodas, postage supplies, writing materials, vitamins and other personal items. The items that are sold in the commissary are determined by the Chief of Safety and Security, DOC policy, requests from the inmates and Correctional Industries staff. The items available for inmates to buy are limited by their classification level. Inmates in higher security housing units have fewer items from which to choose.
Inmates are allowed to make purchases from commissary on specifically assigned days by submitting an order form, similar to the way you would purchase items out of a catalog. Inmates with money in their account may purchase comfort items such as personal care items, food and beverages, while those without funds are limited to basic hygiene and correspondence items sold to them by creating a debt on their account. Staff and inmates who work for the Correctional Industries commissary process, pick, package and deliver orders to living units or other designated area, where inmates receive and sign for the items.
Commissary is operated by Correctional Industries

(82,849 posts)She said the opportunities for exercise were between rare and non-existent, and the food was heavy on processed carbohydrates and short on fresh produce. Inmates lethargic from such a shabby diet are easier to control. She had to be diligent about getting exercise where she could and asking for fresh food.
If our society is going to lock people up in the numbers we do, we should at least be more humane about their treatment - including diet and exercise - while incarcerated.
