It has been years since we've seen FLDS leader and convicted accomplice to rape, Warren Jeffs.
And since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's the one they took of Jeffs as he was processed a few days ago into the Utah State Prison at Point of the Mountain.
To my eye, he looks a lot older. (Prison will do that to you.)
But Jeffs really doesn't appear to be all that much thinner.
I remember when he showed up in Judge Shumate's courtroom in St George looking both thin and out-of-it. Judge Shumate was so alarmed that he ordered a full mental and physical evaluation of the polygamist prophet.
After that, Jeffs seemed to bounce back just in time for his trial.
I am told that while he was in the Mohave County, Arizona jail he was frequently force-fed through a tube in his nose. In fact, for a long time I am told that the tube was kept in even when he wasn't fasting -- saving wear and tear on the nose.
So ... I was just wondering: What's that mark below Jeff's right nostril? Could it be caked blood from the feeding tube? Are they also using the tube at the Utah State Prison to keep him alive?
I'm just asking.
