How do prisons handle criminals who weight 800+ pounds?

Things like bed size, using the toilet or showering, getting food or even getting them into the cell or moving them around the prison all seem like it would take a lot of planning and logistics on the prisons part.

They won’t go to a regular prison. Bariatric patients like that basically need to live in convalescent homes. There are medical facilities designed specifically for inmates whose basic medical needs could not be met in a normal prison. Granted, these people make up a small minority of inmates. Most people who require convalescent care don’t commit felonies that lead to prison time because they literally can’t leave their home.

With “monk” just added to Netflix, there is no doubt in my mind that is where this question is coming from

Serious question-how many people do you think exist who weight 800+ pounds who have been sentenced to prison?

The number of people who weigh 800+ lbs is SMALL.
