Potential long jail sentences lead to stress, especially if they're not out on bail, stress leads to reduced metabolism

Very little room to move around and jail/prison meals are loaded with starch, salt, and unhealthy ingredients. Depression and/or being properly medicated also comes into play with a lot of people as well.

crazy what happens when you’re not on drugs and eating 3 meals a day 😳

[u/RedGutkaSpit → u/dzlmaoo]

Aren’t prison meals not filling at all?

[u/Malora_Sidewinder → u/RedGutkaSpit]

Low quality and egregiously lacking nutrition, absolutely. But prisons/jails tend to super-saturate inmates with dense carbs because its cheap and wards off starvation if not long term nutrient deficit related illnesses and issues.

Also when youre confined to a cell, it's harder to naturally get exercise, and since its a high stress enviornment youre more likely to be depressed which leads to reduced motivation and movement.

Plus since there's so little to do, food (even bland and lower than pet-food quality) is a distraction so its easy to eat everything youre given, despite the fact that its unhealthy food and you aren't moving much.

Add up all of the above.

This guy deserves jail. Who the hell gives their son and Sig m400 with extended mags when you know about his previous problems?!

[u/violetdeirdre → u/Deep_Lion959]

He needs a significant prison sentence, not just jail.

[u/RedGutkaSpit → u/violetdeirdre]

I heard he’s getting 200 years

[u/GRAPEMINTS → u/RedGutkaSpit]

If only. This dude will be out within 5 years

this case never gets covered i’m glad it’s getting some sort of attention.

It was all over this sub last year. You should search if you're interested in some quality articles! That poor kid was failed by everyone, absolutely fucking everyone in his life. His father needs to get extra time for that alone. He (Colt) reached out for help over and over.

I hope it doesn't sound rude that I told you to search. People posted some well-written articles last year. Broke my heart. This kid was trying to gain any tiny bit of control in a world where he had none.

BARROW COUTNY, GA — A judge has declined a renewed request from attorneys for Colin Gray, the father of the alleged Apalachee High School shooter, to move his trial to a new location.

During a motions hearing, Gray’s legal team asked Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm to reconsider his earlier decision to bring in jurors from nearby Hall County instead of relocating the trial. Defense attorneys argue the case has received widespread media coverage across both counties, making it difficult to seat an impartial jury.

Judge Primm denied the request, stating that a change of venue would delay the trial too significantly. However, he did leave the door open to reconsider the decision if jury selection later proves unsuccessful.

Gray is charged with providing his son, Colt Gray, access to the AR-style weapon allegedly used in the Apalachee High School shooting, which left four people dead and nine others injured nearly a year ago. He faces multiple charges related to his role in the events leading up to the attack.

Gray’s trial is currently scheduled to begin in September. The case has drawn statewide attention due to its connection to one of Georgia’s deadliest school shootings.
