A prison inmate somehow contracted a flesh eating bacteria…

“…that required doctors to remove several pounds of flesh from his pelvic region.  Surgeons made a replacement penis with skin from his thigh.”

Oh, well then.  A replacement penis.  With spare penis skin that was on his leg.  We all have that, of course.  Sure, that’s exactly the same as it was before, no doubt.  He sued the state and got a settlement which could never be enough, I would imagine.  Still I suppose he could be dead. 

This poor bugger (unfortunate choice of words, perhaps) will never get a leg up in life, that much seems certain.

The take-away mental note from this story:  be good, because prison is very very very bad.

Saw this on Boing Boing.
