413-pound Broderick Lloyd Laswell was arrested for robbing and murdering Randy Walker and setting Walker's trailer home on fire, and has been kept in an Arkansas jail cell awaiting a capital trial. Eight months later, he's down to 308 pounds, but he's not grateful for the diet, and has sued for "hot meals" and more consistent portions. [AP/Arkansas Online, Apr. 27; Northwest Arkansas Morning News, Apr. 25 via ABA blog] Needless to say, the blogosphere isn't impressed. (Update: Smoking Gun has court documents and mug shots.)

Someone's going to make a lot of money selling "Arkansas Prison Diet" to rich white women.
A whole new meaning to the term, "The Biggest Loser." I always jump at an opportunity to employ double entendre.
Only in America can a 308 lb. inmate consider himself "starved to death".
