Alabama sheriffs feed imates on 90 pence a day
Interesting story I came across for the "law and order" crowd amongst us , sheriffs in the State of Alabama have their budget for feeding prisioners set by the State at a rate of $1.75 (about 90p UK) a day per inmate, and if they dont spend that amount they pocket the change
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080517/...ail_food_bonus didn't think it was possible to feed a dog on that amount but it seems to be working in Dixie , some folks are complaining , but no-one seems to be malnourished or suffering from loss of human rights  maybe a bit of an explaination of how the jail/prison system works here , each county in the US has a sheriff , much like each county in the UK used to have a Chief Constable , apart from being responsible for regular policing they also run the county jails (petty thieving, domestic abuse, drink/drug driving ,stuff sorted out by local magistrates courts) short term stays up to about two years) .Worse crimes are dealt with by the 'Superior' courts (Preston sesions/Lancaster assizes) and then sent to the state prisions (San Quinten, Sing Sing etc. long term, life , deathrow ) |

Re: Alabama sheriffs feed imates on 90 pence a day
The prison will be buying food ingredients in bulk so they will cost less, and the inmates will be cooking from basic food essential ingredients (eg no oven chips or instant mash,) and they will bake their own bread.
Some prisons have their own farms - and the labour is free  So it is possible to have a healthy diet in those circumstances - though it is likely to be monotonous and bland - but probably better than the diet of many populations in the 3rd world.

Brings an all new meaning to the saying "if you can't do the time don't do the crime"
