“milk duds”
A fitting epithet to this filthy scumbag.

Yes, he is sorry. A sorry excuse for a human being.

What is with these fools making statements wherein they self-access these things? “I’m a model inmate,” “I’m not a bigot,” “I’m a very stable genius.” Gah!

I assume he’d eaten the decent part of his care package and all that was left was milk duds.

And fuck the linked article. It’s not until the 3rd paragraph from the bottom that we get to “he’s a rapist.” The headline and the rest of the article are borderline sympathetic.

Harvey Weinstein is a piece of human garbage, but with my limited internet-commenting resources, I’m gonna have to go with prison is a fucking bizarre mess on this one.

Curiously, there is a perfect place on(in) the human body to smuggle a candy that size, shape and color. . . .
Just saying. . .

Fuck Weinstein, but also fuck the American carceral system. Why shouldn’t prisoners be able to have candy?

Yeah, that was my thought. After watching too much Larry Lawton on YouTube, I wondered how he got them past the guards… and are those really “Milk Duds”? O_o

News Flash. Prisons have stupid rules. More at eleven.

They may not ban all candies. May depend on what (via packaging or candy type) are amenable to drug smuggling.

I’d like to see the prison justify why policing what candy people eat is legitimate.

It may be that his lawyer gave them directly to him, instead of presenting them to the guards to check the box for contraband, such as a phone.

Ooh! I can answer this! (a college friend was a shrink at Folsom prison for a good while, and gave us a thick ass book with all the stuff that prisoners can buy from the commissary/shop [most of which is pretty mundane, some of which is just weird])
Candy itself is not verboten, but it is by the type. Weirdly, you can have both chocolate and you can have caramels, but anything that would be a mixture doesn’t seem to be on the list. You can have Jolly Ranchers though, and I bet that I could make a single use shank out of a bunch of them, so I don’t really parse what the logic is of what is and what isn’t allowed.

Maybe some of the rules are based on actual events. From news reports and stories, it seems that incarceration spurs incredible creativity and skillful problem-solving in many areas of prison life.
