Black Sam, the synopsis is on the subject title, you lazy bum.

Only in Britain. :p
No, actually this is better than what happens in US prisons. Over here, we do everything we can to make sure you die behind bars. Of course we don\'t reap any compensation on the back end like the Brits do. :D
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Prison guards and medical staff allowed a depressed, 72-year-old inmate serving time for sexual abuse to starve himself to death, a state senator charged.

so he wanted to die, let him die.
-
Omg, there is no way that he will have to pay
-
Spoken like a republican. :p
Besides, it\'s not clear that he wanted to die. Here\'s a more detailed story.

He would have eaten, but the prison would not serve him a vegetarian diet, and he was abused by the guards. But wtf, just let him die, right? :)

He should sue them for wrongful imprisonment.
I think somewhere in the region of £80.000 should be acceptable.
-
I thought they were already giving him a "settlement." Isn\'t that supposed to compensate for wrongful imprisonment? They were withholding part of the settlement on the grounds of this food and lodging charge.
-
Holding settlement money(which was for wrongful imprisonment) yet making him pay for food and space....sounds absolutly retarded.
PS...Immmmm baaaAAAAcccckkkkk

luckee was wrongly jailed and now has to pay for board and lodging. :p

This is absolutely insane. They made the mistake for wrongfully imprisoning him. They should pay him for the room and board.

There is corruption in our prision system. ESPECIALLY the EXTREMELY CORRUPT prision system in California. I don\'t care if you are a Republican or a Democrat, a left winger or a right winger, the California prison system needs SERIOUS reforms (which BTW, for the last 5 years or so before Arnie, PURE Democratic control of the government INCLUDING the prison system. Its not just Republicans who are "bad").
But thats besides the point. At least when there is a wrongful conviction, we DON\'T charge for room and boarding when that conviction is overturned. These people didn\'t voluntarily get arrested and convicted. Life threw them a horrible curve ball and voila, in prison for a crime they didn\'t comment. Now the government is telling them to pay for their stay? What kind of crap is this? Again, doesn\'t matter if you are a left winger or right winger (and this is being proposed under the left-of-center Labour government of Tony Blair), this idea is idiotic no matter how you slice it. Government greed gone way too far.
