Why are prison inmates so physically fit?!
Question: Why are prison inmates so physically fit?
Answers:
I have worked in the prison system for 11 years and over that time I have noticed that a lot of the inmates are very fit but there are just about as many that are fat slobs. They do have lots of time to work out and yes the meals they are served are planned by dietary specialists. They are allowed how ever if people send them money to shop on the prison store. Here they are able to buy plenty that is bad for them such as snack cakes, noodle soups, chips, and things like that. So they do have junk food available and many do eat it as their main means of food because they do not like what the prison serves in the chow hall. Those that are fit do choose to exercise and push themselves to be this way. A lot of them come in already in very good physical condition. The prisons I have worked at do encourage inmates to be healthy by having mandatory wellness walk. This requires all inmates that are physically able to walk for a certain amount of time each day weather permitting. The male inmates do seem to be healthier than females. A lot of people do not agree with them being allowed to work out but I think it is a good thing as we pay taxes that pay for their health care. So by them being healthy it saves us money. I have worked with both sexes and the females have a lot more problems and take a lot more medication from what I have been able to tell. The females seem to let themselves go more while in prison and gain weight and don't care as much what they look like.
One more thing I was thinking of is that they can stay healthier because at least in the prisons I have worked in they can put a sick call in and see a doctor and get meds for a $5 copay. Sure wish I could see the doc and get my medicine for $5.
If by "healthy" you mean "full of maggots" then yes.
Prisoners have to work out because in male prisons its dog eat dog. You have to put up a fight against EVERYONE because for one..
They're all retarded and make prison bad for themselves,
and two,
If you show weakness they'll know they can always take stuff from you.
I think you just answered the whole question yourself.
