After asking myself the rhetorical question, "What kind of people are we?" upon reading the NYTimes editorial this a.m. on cutting prison food budgets, I noted that one crooked old boy sheriff from 'Bama is now serving a stretch in his own jail for pocketing $200,000 in food money. Seems the state allows sheriffs to keep the food budget dollars they don't spend.My guess is that he invested the money in sherrif's belly futures, a shrinking portfolio in this case.
Makes ya sick, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAmy: Having eaten jail food (on several occasions), I don't know which is worst, the food or the starvation. I know which rots the soul, though.
