Barkley's Only Jail Complaint? The Food!

Charles BarkleyJudging by his size, one might think Charles Barkley would eat anything -- and everything -- put in front of him. Not true.

We're told Chuck had a serious problem with the food he was served during his short stint in an Arizona jail. Charles was given sloppy joes, potatoes, pear chunks, zucchini, a bread roll and a slice of margarine.

His reaction: "Man ... this stuff tastes like sh*t."

Chuck's special tent, separate from the other inmates, did not come with access to the vending machines with junk food and candy. So his lawyers were allowed to bring him some junk food and candy from the outside.

You can lock up the man ... but not his sweet tooth.

3. these so called stars might as well have their own laws, courts and jails as they all get special treatment that just shouldn't be happening. They know they can get away with anything including murder.

7. What did he expect? Did he think they would shell out money to get him lobster, or anything else for that matter? It's prison, he's there for a readon and it's becasue he did something wrong! Obviously 3 days wasn't enough for him.

8. What is the point of locking him up if you don't treat him like a criminal? He shouldn't get any special treatment.

9. No special treatment huh? Nobody else got to have food brought in. This is not an indictment of Charles but of the the hypocrite known by his own admission as the toughest sheriff in the world Joe Arpaio.

10. That is so stupid! 'Sir F****tard' did the crime, he should do the time. No 'special treatment'. Even his lawyers brough him stuff. It must be nice to be able to be above the law.....

11. His reaction -- "Man ... this stuff tastes like sh*t."

THAT is probably a taste with which he is familiar...

12. What a joke. Being locked up is not supposed to entitle a person to outside fast food, a private tent and a news conference. This was no punishment.

13. I have to say the Sheriff lost some points with me, letting this pathetic Moron get away with special treatment. I'm sure Chuck will be back again soon though... This weekender didn't do anything except cramp his style a little bit, SAD.

14. For crying out loud!! IT's jail you idiot, you obviously missed the point of your incarceration, so I say go back and do it again!!!
Prison food is not meant to be tasty, merely nutritional and the basics needed to sustain life at that. Since my taxes go to pay for your hind end being in jail.....I personally would feed you grubs! They are nutrionally balanced and cheap.

15. Just another example of the crap that comes from his mouth that makes him look like an idiot. Just Shut-up and suck it up Sir Baby. Governor of Alabama? Right people can't be that stupid???
