- Canadian prisoner gets released early for being too fat

Canadian prison authorities were forced to release a 450-pound (≒205kg) drug gang member because he was too large for his cell. Michel Lapointe – known as Big Mike – was arrested in September 2006 and received a five-year sentence in May 2008. The authorities said he could not fit on the chair in his prison cell and when he went to bad, his body protruded six inches on either side.

너무 뚱뚱해서 석방된 죄수
캐나다에서는 교정 당국이 체중이 450파운드(≒250kg)인 재소자를 석방할 수 밖에 없는 일이 벌어졌다. 마약 갱 조직의 일원인 이 죄수가 너무 거구인 탓에 독방에서 생활할 수가 없었기 때문. ‘빅 마이크’로 알려져 있는 미셸 라포인츠라는 이름의 이 재소자는 2006년 9월 체포되어 2008년 5월에 징역 5년 형을 선고 받았다. 당국은 그가 독방 의자에 않을 수가 없는 점, 그리고 침대에 누우면 양쪽으로 6인치의 몸이 침대 밖으로 나오는 점을 설명했다.
