A sort of jail where overweight people without willpower are forced to get in shape. Once you enter and sign the agreement, there is no turning back. The accommodations are like a hotel, except you must exercise to get your meals which are very small and low calorie.
There are big muscular guards making
sure you don’t escape. There is no panic button, you are stuck until the agreed time for your overweight level. Ofcourse there are doctors to make sure nobody is really suffering from anything serious that would require leaving the facilities. Otherwise the only way out is to get in shape.
baked for kids at least: "fat camps"

At least here in Europe, there was a trend in fitness studios for some time, called "Body Drill" - Gymnastics lessons with an imitation Gunny in full military uniform screaming and yelling at the unhappy participants. It quickly became unpopular, and i wonder just why... |

It's a shame ordinary jail doesn't seem to stop people commiting crimes. Otherwise the principle might work. At least it would get the fat people of the streets tho. |

But what adult could take all that time off from lifes daily tasks to stay in one of those weight loss camps? It takes a long time to loose 100 pounds (with no will power, they mite need to loose that much), and it should come off slowly for safty's sake. |

Between this, the bible weed and the abortion camp, I am getting a powerful thirst. |

This is the plot of Rob Grant's novel 'Fat', he of Red Dwarf fame. |
