Obesity and the Law!!!!

A 430-pound convict is out of a Canadian prison because the facility could not accommodate his massive frame. The Quebec Parole Board cited Micheal Lapointe's health and good behavior as reasons for his early parole. "Big Mike," as he's known, was serving time for conspiracy and drug trafficking. So apparently If you are fat, you smell bad, have some sort of disease, and you behave well in prison, theres a good chance that you will be let out on time. Hmmm interesting. There are people in prison right now with lesser charges, and whom I am sure exhibit good behavior, that may not even be up for parole. This is absolutley ridiclious and if he is too overweight then give him more yard time. Don't just simply release him out of prison. That's just insane. although I do not know the logistics of this man's background and behavior in prison, It just seems a little far-fetched to release him because the prison could not accomidate him.
