He (Sheriff Joe) comes off as a real grouch and takes the word, “miser”, to a whole new level when it comes to feeding his inmates. He can tell you to the 1/2 penny.
Are you saying these inmates deserve more?
He thinks sending more than a penny and a half a meal is excessive. Piss him off and it's bread and water. It's really the attitude and how he carries on about it really. Hear him talk about it and you'll understand what I mean.
