Where's the Beef?

I spoke to our local sheriff last week. He continues to cut back expenses at our local jail saving us tax payers money. He’s already eliminated the hot breakfast, along with fresh fruits and vegetables. He’s cut out beef. He cut down the number of different dinners from 31 to 7. They serve the same 7 dinners every week. He’s now eliminated condiments - no ketchup, no mustard, no pickles. What’s next? Salt?

As a deterrent to crime, we need to continue to get the word out on how bad the prison meals are. I’ve suggested in the past that the prison menus be published in our newspaper to encourage people NOT to break the law. Yeah, print the same menu every week. Maybe have someone do a prison “restaurant” review. Start some Yelp prison food ratings of some sort. Get the word out!

A while back our local paper ceased publishing the school cafeteria menu. This cut student truancy sharply. So we know this type of stuff works. The menu was scaring kids away. Let's scare kids away from prison.
