6'3 138lbs. 35yrs old. My son has lost over 50lbs in 5 months. Can't receive commissary. Doesn't know why he's losing weight. 3 weeks 2 process a money order. Stutters real bad now. Had a concussion with no medical help. I guess he will die there. Maybe that's the goal. Because he's in jail he's nothing
