After wasting away in Nevada's Clark County jail, OJ Simpson may be able to put some weight on at his new digs, the New York Post reports. OJ dropped 25 pounds during his trial, thanks to prison meat that “looked like jackalope,” Simpson complained to a source. Fortunately for the Juice, the grub at his new jail is better: “If I have to be in prison, this is the place to be.”

Simpson also has more to do at his new correctional facility, which he moved to on Dec. 19. He can now pass the time playing cards or checkers with fellow inmates, and he even has a TV in his cell—but, he complained, he doesn't get HBO.
