Chicago Inmates Can Order Fancy Italian Pizza Made in Jail
U.S. News & World Report ^ | 5/26

Gourmet Italian pizzas can be delivered to your cell, if you get locked up in Chicago's Cook County Jail.

How can you get a gourmet Italian pizza delivered right to your door for no more than $7? Get locked up at Cook County Jail in Chicago.

Inmates in the jail's medium-security Division 11 can now order pizzas made with the finest ingredients in the kind of ovens found in pizzerias. It's all part of Sheriff Tom Dart's ongoing effort to make jail a bit more humane while providing inmates skills that might help keep them from returning once they're set free.

Pizzas have been served and prepared behind bars before. A few institutions allow inmates to order from nearby restaurants. At one Massachusetts jail, inmates make pizzas that guards can buy and take home and heat themselves.

Sure, but are they halal? My guess is that’s the only kind of pizza the bruddahs can eat.

This is the same Chicago government tyhat has the highest sales tax in the nation, and is instituting a beverage tax.

Give criminals expensive great treatment and screw the taxpayers—Anarchotyranny and democrat run government at its finest.

Making good pizza is a skill few people have. If it means someone who has no skills comes out able to make decent money above board, it’s a good thing.

Jail should suck. If they don’t want to get out of jail, they won’t mind going to jail. If they don’t mind going to jail, there is no dis-incentive for them to not commit crimes. How about giving them frozen pizzas that taste like cardboard — you know, like their victims buy in the supermarket?

There is nothing quite like a true Chicago style pizza.

Here's some of what Texas inmates can get at the commissary. I can't afford Blue Bell Ice Cream, $49 sneakers and buy the cheap store brand bread.

There are cooks in prison who were high class chefs on the outside so many inmates are eating the upper crust.
