If he gets too skinny, he can just slip through the bars.
The convicted cop killer who famously escaped from an upstate prison in 2015 hates his new digs at Attica so much so that he’s gone on a hunger strike, sources told The Post.
David Sweat, 37, was transferred to the infamous facility on Nov. 17 from another maximum security lockup in the Finger Lakes region ‐ then stopped eating six days later, according to a petition prison officials planned to file Friday.
Attica officials are worried the already-slim inmate could die if his hunger strike continues and are seeking a judicial order allowing him to be fed through a tube.
"Mr. Sweat has refused all solid food," the petition says.
"Mr. Sweat is drinking fluids, but he is not drinking a sufficient amount of fluids to maintain his overall health."
Give him an emetic
The defiant cop killer has said he’s "not happy" at Attica, and wants to be transferred back to the prison he came from, Five Points Correctional Facility in Romulus, according to the documents
Sweat is serving a life term for murdering a Broome County sheriff's deputy in 2002.
