Inmates at North Texas prison refusing to accept meals

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice initially said 45 prisoners in administrative segregation had begun a hunger strike but TDCJ spokesman Robert Hurst said Tuesday the number stood at 37... The inmates participating in the hunger strike are housed at the Allred Unit in Iowa Park, outside Wichita Falls. Hurst says they began refusing meals on Christmas, but that some have food items in their cells that they purchased from the commissary. He says the inmates have complained about recreational time, food portions and the temperature.

Boo hoo. Saves my tax dollars. They aren't starving and don't need my tax dollars since they're chowing down on commissary foods they purchased with their own money.

Prison recipes such as Peanut butter oatmeal, salsa, menudo, ham mac 'n cheese, brownies, cheesecake, etc. - http://www.itemonline.com/news/local_news/tdcj-inmates-create-gourmet-meal-recipes/article_9739dab0-c3b9-561a-b977-9fad98cd0da0.html

Some commissary items - Brown Rice, danish, sausage, chicken, candy, cookies, pies, roast beef and gravy, juice, chili and beans, etc.

Clean out their cells, and give them a daily ration of nutraloaf.

Send them to bed without supper. Or tell them about the starving people in North Korea. They are, after all, behaving like children. Maybe they should take a knee...

Love that they protest not enough food by proving they can do with even less. Keeping with that approach, maybe they should sleep on ice to protest low temps in the prison, and work 24/7 to show they're not happy with all the work they've gotta do.

“...are housed at the Allred unit...”

Was that named after Gloria Allred? The b***h should be in prison herself along with her daughter Lisa Bloom.

Not a bad idea to subcontract third world counties to house our prisoners. Send the ones who complain the most to a contract Turkish prison.

Segregation inmates don’t have to do any work. They are only allowed 1 hour recreation per day because they’re the big baddies. They don’t have to go from building to building or walkabouts out in the cold like guards do.

Was 45 inmates. Now 37....

In 10 days - it’ll be 0.

These morons would be better off talking to a brick wall.

Provide the food, if they choose to not eat, tuff sh!t, let them starve. I’m sure their victims could care less.

They should introduce a North Korean menu; tree bark with a side of dirt.
