Yes. Putting aside the fact that AH probably is not a closeted Rhodes Scholar, there is virtually nothing in his life experience to date to suggest that he has been held accountable for anything he's done. [Insert here endless Gator coddling under Urban Meyer]. So in his mind, this little stint is probably just burnishing street cred and he absolutely expects to get out.Shelterdog said:
Yeah, can you believe Hernandez thinks he's ever getting out of jail?
soxfan121 said:I dunno Rev. One of the tiny potential silver linings of this whole Hernandez saga is a continuous stream of prison news, which highlights the issues of prison treatment and/or conditions. There are not enough bright lights in the world for some of those issues (as you well know) and Hernandez's continuing jail adventures are providing more light than usual. The other stuff can't help but get some residual, reflected light as a result.

Old Fart Tree said:Seriously. When I think about all the bad decisions I've made in my personal and professional life, I look to Aaron Hernandez and think "well, at least I didn't fuck it up THAT badly."

What a fucking waste.
Tony C said:reading about Hernandez and Remy -- not just what got them into jail but how they've acted in it -- reminds one that some people are just unadulterated scum.

Touché. Snark overwhelmed me.
To be more explicit: Some people need more than 2000 calories per day. Some people need less. The FDA has set an arbitrary number of calories that is recommended but it does not apply to everyone.
I'm with RR above: All signs point to Hernandez being a terrible person, but he has not yet been convicted. I can justify incarcerating people pending trial who may constitute a risk for fleeing or committing further crimes. But I'm not sure it's justified to keep young men hungry by denying them the food they need--- either out of retribution, or because we trust the FDA to specify what they "need".
Average Reds said:With that said, ensuring that each inmate receives a diet that is tailored to their specific desires isn't high on my list and I can't imagine that this is something that will ever gain much traction with the public. I also see no evidence that this has anything to do with why AH is misbehaving in prison.
Is he eligible for commissary? I thought you didn't get that privilege until you were convicted, but thinking about it I realize I have no idea where that thought came from and it probably varies by state, infractions, and such.crow216 said:I'm confused, there's also commissary. He can eat as much as he can buy, which I assume is a fuckton.

He hasn't been convicted yet.DannyHeep said:
Do we know that is the standard? While people may burn more or less calories, I'm sure we can come up with a standard number of calories for the inmates that makes sense.
Plus if you want to decide what you eat, don't commit the crime. Simple.
SumnerH said:http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/07/15/life-inside-prison-for-aaron-hernandez/k5GQZjyKZvy5aRgnZ3ndFL/story.html indicates that there might be a commissary but that Hernandez had no access to it; Bristol Jail's website isn't illuminating. If he's out of solitary that article may be out of date.

The sample from a prison population would not be proportionate to a non prison population. How much that matters is up for debate. You also have guys who get additional food smuggled in.crow216 said:Totally off topic but has a health study ever been conducted which utilizes prison and jail inmate date? You basically have thousands of people on identical diets all at varying weights. It seems like a rich source of data as opposed to "a British study found that when 100 people ate 30 carbs...etc."
crow216 said:Wouldn't the sample be large enough to estimate the variables fairly accurately? Medical records in most states need to kept for 7-15 years before being destroyed. Would be really curious to see the data because not everyone goes to prison and loses weight despite a 2,000 calorie diet and a few packs of peanuts and ramen.
I work in a jail. Almost all inmates lose weight. unless they were skinny to begin with or were drug abusers. the drug abusers gain weight.crow216 said:I just want to know how prison diets affect weight.
Old Fart Tree said:Sweet time for prison stories! Have you had many instances of inmates kiestering weapons aka using the 'prison wallet'?
Its almost always drugs in the "trunk". I've never heard of weapons being up there. But i dont do the strip searches so it might of happened. There's a special cover that goes over the toilet that is used like a strainer if you think an inmate is holding drugs.Old Fart Tree said:Sweet time for prison stories!
