Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has scored a job fixing sandwiches in prison, according to TMZ.

The convicted pedophile is currently serving a 15-year prison term at the Englewood Federal Correctional Institution in Colorado. An unnamed source told TMZ that inmates found it hilarious and quite ironic that Fogle is back in the food business.

Fogle was moved to the facility's cafeteria after he was beaten up by another inmate in January.

“Jared has money and you can buy inmates to protect you—that set Steve off,” the inmate's brother told Radar Online. “He has paid protection, he had bodyguards around him. One of them or another child molester must have been the witness [to the fight].”

“This isn’t the first time he's hit a child molester,” he said. “It’s just the first time he got caught.”
