and this is a problem... because? Well, we'd have to bury 'em after they starve to death. That takes some effort and expense and there IS the sequester, you know...

Well, we could tie hams too ‘em and feed them to alligators. Might be cheaper. On second thought, why wait for them to starve first? It’ll give more food to the gators and the PETA people will be pleased we have fed animals, and the greenies will be glad we have improved the ecology of the swamp. Even the vegetarian would be pleased because the hams wouldn’t be consumed by humans. Oh, and the prisoners will no longer be exhaling Carbon Dioxide, so that should appease the Climate Change crowd. What’s not to like?
I can’t claim credit for all of this, my girlfriend contributed ideas too.

Why force-feed those knuckledraggers... let them slim down further for their trip to hell.

Best way to break a hunger strike is to smoke some Texas brisket right outside their cells.
