Sam Bankman-Fried has lost weight, Puck reported, and looks fitter, which may be partly because he says the vegan food he's served is inedible.

They get TVs and tablets??
as they should. they're already in prison. they're still people who need stimulus and entertainment.
And they get shitty tablets. https://www.wired.com/story/electronic-tablets-in-federal-prisons-chat-apps-disabled/
On top of that, even if they want to read from the (usually very understocked) prison library, tens of thousands of books have been banned- https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/post/new-report-from-pen-america-documents-vast-book-bans-in-u-s-prisons/
It's ridiculous how we treat prisoners.
Yeah, I’ve sent books to prisoners before and it’s disturbing how bad it is. The most requested book is an English-Spanish dictionary so they can talk to the people in there with them.
The concept of a penitentiary is to give them time to think and repent. I think it’s off base, but it’s not a bad idea. Give them philosophy and books that can give them skills, good models, good ideas, and yes entertainment.
Yeah, I have more issues with the fact that most people don't have access to any of that (provided it can't be use to run a crime network on the outside or whatever).
All my heroin friends have/had tablets in my state prison system. County jails here blow dick and don’t have anything like that, but even the normal people prisons do. The future is now old man or something.
Generally you have to pay out the ass for that stuff in prison, but I imagine he still has some money.
