Michael Lapointe, a prisoner convicted for drug-trafficking, gangsterism, and conspiracy, was released from prison early after serving only 25 months.
Lapointe, or “Big Mike” as he was referred to in jail, weighed nearly 430 pounds, and was released early because the prison could not accommodate his large frame. The Quebec Parole Board was concerned about his health, and not being able to facilitate his needs as a larger man. When arrested he weighed 375 pounds, and blames the approx. 50 pound weight gain on the poor prison diet.
Don’t they have mandatory “work-out” time in the slammer? Just sayin….
