I wouldn't call those "luxaries". More like "things to keep prisoners distracted with so they don't riot". It would be inhumane to keep all the prisoners locked in complete solitary for their duration, and it would merely result in people getting released who now have severe sociological disorders. Not all people in jail are in there for life.
The posted story is a good demonstration of our society tolerating self-indulgent, abusive behavior that imposes on other people. Eventually we will have to foot the bill for this fat guy's health problems as well.
Honestly, he should be put to work cleaning up roads and work off all that weight. Poof, benefit to society, and he gets healthier. Both sides win (though he probably wants to stay fat and lazy).
