"...inmate workers who might prove better at stealing food than cooking it."
LOL, what a quaint concept! I don't think the prison commissary has much to fear.
I am convinced it is IMPOSSIBLE to cook good food for really large numbers of people.
I heard if you get thrown in jail in Turkey, you're on your own. If someone doesn't bring you food, well, you starve..
But you see, Bobby, if we provided you with all those things you crave -- such as world-class gourmet meals,24-hour outcall "masseuse," and spacious penthouse cells -- you'd be too eager to come back after serving your time. We don't want to destroy your incentive for freedom. That would be cruel.
Send 'em to Sherrif Joe in Maricopa County. Water and bologna sandwiches. Live in tents and use portajohns.
What makes these criminals think that society WANTS to treat them like kings?
I have followed the laws of orderly society and I contribute to this mortal stew everyday. I am taking my lovely wife out to dinner tonight for her birthday. Going to have a $40 steak, salad and potato.
I'll send these guys a nice hot plate first thing in the morning.

Funny, but I remember hearing the same sorts of comments in every school cafeteria that I ever ate in.
And they serve the wrong wine with the meal.
Tough.
How about bread and water????....
Hehe. I had not remembered that food until your post. 8^)
And we had to pay for it, unlike the inmates...
Awwwwwwwwwww. Poor babies.
This brings to mind one of the three times I found myself in a jail cell overnight (don't ask!) when some cop wandered over at some point and tried to hand me a tray. I realized afterward the I must've given him the most revolted, disdainful, contemptuous look I've probably ever given anyone. I actually felt slightly bad about it later. I was just taken aback by the question and really irate because I couldn't immediately track down whom I needed to post bail.
It's a wonder he didn't arrange to have me gangbanged or something (not that it would be altogether easy; I'm rather imposing and everyone in that holding cell stayed well out of my way, as visibly furious as I'm sure I was). And I actually thought that one cop was relatively friendly! (Well, he seemed somewhat beaten down and ready to call it a night to me LOL)
PS. Almost needless to mention, I did not sample the food..
What kind of monsters have we become? < /sarcasm>
