It’s not all peaches and cream being a prisoner in a Dutch jail. Take the case of the 36-stone inmate of Krimpen aan de Ussel Prison in Holland serving two years for fraud.
He is suffering because his cell is too cramped to accommodate his body mass which is said to be a metre wide and a metre deep which means that his bed is too narrow, he cannot use the toilet in comfort and he becomes wedged in the shower cubicle. Since he is also 6ft 9ins tall he is unable to move around his cell without bowing his head and there is not enough space in it for family visits.
The man concerned claims that the cramped conditions in the prison breach his human rights and has launched a legal bid to be given house arrest.
One would assume that the Dutch authorities would be glad to release this man to house arrest. Think of the savings on food alone!
