Prison Calls It Food, Inmates Disagree. (Huffington Post)
When shooting suspect Christopher Williams acted up in prison, he was given nutraloaf _ a mixture of cubed whole wheat bread, nondairy cheese, raw carrots, spinach, seedless raisins, beans, vegetable oil, tomato paste, powdered milk and dehydrated potato flakes.
Prison officials call it a complete meal. Inmates say it’s so awful they’d rather go hungry.
On Monday, the Vermont Supreme Court will hear arguments in a class action suit brought by inmates who say it’s not food but punishment and that anyone subjected to it should get a formal disciplinary process first.
Prison officials see nutraloaf as a tool for behavior modification.
really? this sounds like the all-natural treats i give my dogs. they seem to like it, but they also eat rocks.
Hahaha, non-dairy cheese. Sounds great, except for the seedless raisins. Where’s the punishment in that?
