The late, great Mr. Johnny Cash
A convicted murderer serving a life sentence at a Limon prison has refused to eat for the last 10 days, because officers took away his drum kit.
According to reports, the 39-year-old man was the drummer in a band with five other inmates, who also were fasting in protest, but have since abandoned the cause.
The fasting drummer, identified as Jonathan Kasper, wrote a letter to prison officials complaining that authorities have cut back on organized sports, weight lifting, music and other fun pastimes at the prison.
The man’s mother said she’s concerned about her son, who has lost 32 pounds, and also feels upset about the fun-time cutbacks.
Prison officials told reporters the increased restrictions were put in place after another prisoner slit the throat of a female corrections officer during a sewing workshop last September.
The officer survived the attack, thankfully.
And Kasper, according to prison officials, was placed in segregation in May after allegedly inciting a disturbance in the prison cafeteria, back-talking officers and refusing to sit down for lunch.
To Kasper I say: You chose to give up your dreams of rock stardom the minute you killed a woman to steal money for Cocaine.
While The Man in Black might have sympathized with your plight, I don’t.
Suck it up and eat your prison-grade hamburger.
