Twisties Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Alabama Prison Feeding Here the government incorporated the profit motive into it's systems. I think it's interesting because it plays on a number of levels. Link to comment

Whip Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I love Southern Cookin That's the way it was in Mayberry too. You remember how some guy liked to get thrown in jail so he could eat some of Aunt Bee's Southern Cookin. Hey Billy Does Tam cook for your prisoners?????? Link to comment
Harry_Wilshusen Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 That article sent a chill down my back. "An Alabama sheriff imprisoned after admitting he legally pocketed about $210,000 from his jail kitchen while providing skimpy meals to inmates agreed to give up future profits from the operation, a judge said Friday."

Twisties Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 If I understood correctly he was imprisoned for defying court to provide adequate nutrition, not for profiting. Link to comment

Lawman Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Actually Otis had been deputized by Andy and had full authority to arrest himself, which he often did.. Link to comment
Huzband Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Remember the movie "Cool Hand Luke"? They got beans, bread, & water. Twice a day. Yeah, yeah, it was a movie. It's called jail, not "Feasting on the Gubment". I don't see the problem. Link to comment
