When your life can't get any worse, there's Lil Wayne

As if being in prison and suicidal wasn't bad enough, for some prisoners in the US, they're now going to have Lil Wayne in charge of making sure they don't kill themselves.

Couldn't they have put him in a position where if he makes a slip it won't be quite so fatal? Isn't having Wayne in charge of making sure you don't die a bit of the cruel and unusuals?
