No Hot Food in MI Jail
December 30th, 2009
No one ever said life was easy behind bars, but it has become a bit more stressful for inmates in the Macomb County Jail. Story reported in the Free Press.
After mold was spotted in the jail’s 50-year-old freezers last month, inmates have been eating mostly bologna and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Gone are the warm, balanced meals.
And with no money to replace the freezers, the sandwich diets may continue through early next year, officials from the sheriff’s office said this morning.
County officials warned commissioners as early as 2005 that the freezers needed to be replaced.
Officials plan to ask commissioners for emergency funds next month to buy new refrigerators.
