BROOKVILLE, Pa. -- Jefferson County's jail warden got a little tired of inmates throwing food despite repeated warnings not to, so he fought back.
Warden David Riley recently started feeding misbehaving inmates a food loaf, made up of all the offerings at mealtime mixed together and formed into a loaf.
"We microwave the food loaf before it is served," Mr. Riley said. "It's really not that bad."
Jails across the country commonly serve food loaf as punishment for bad behavior. Some jails don't use the daily meal offerings, but instead use a recipe that includes ingredients like wheat bread, beans, other vegetables and cheeses in order to make sure the inmate's diet meets daily nutritional guidelines.
Five days after offering the concoction, Mr. Riley said all food throwing stopped at his jail.
"I had one inmate tell me, 'Well warden, you broke me,' " Riley recalls. "It has had the desired effect."

You know, it wouldn't kill them to miss a few meals. Fight at breakfast? No lunch or dinner.

Once the trans-fat, fast food, rage-against-Mcdonald's nazi's have their way, we'll all be eating food loaf. At every meal. With no salt or tabasco. And no cigarette afterwards.
The average U.S. jail or prison inmate gets a higher quality of nutrition when incarcerated than he does on the street.

That might actually be pretty good if it had some meat in it.
The government gives away cheese, yet purchases non-dairy product for corrections food. Wonder how you make cheese without dairy? Sounds absolutely yummy.

I don't think I'm MUCH younger than you. . . graduated high school in 1973 (you can do the math!)
Actually it solves three problems...everybody gets to eat the same thing so we're all "equal."
Yes, but is it hallal?
How cool is that? Yummmoooo.
Oh man, I have actually had iguana soup (the national dish) in Curacao. It was good much to my dismay.
