DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Three inmates at the Black Hawk County jail in Waterloo have filed federal lawsuits claiming their civil rights are being violated by skimpy meals.

The Des Moines Register says the lawsuits filed earlier this month allege that small amounts of food and a 5:30 p.m. suppertime add up to a mid-evening hunger that constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment."

The lawsuits, filed by inmates Tony Grider, Jessie Davis and Charles Mack Jr, said their jail's meal plan is far inferior other jails'. They're seeking $1,000 per day for pain and suffering caused by hunger...

...Davis said in a hand-printed letter to a federal court clerk that he is "so hungry at night all I can do is ball up and cry from the pain it's causing me. And if another inmate tries to help and give another inmate any food or drink items, they're punished by jail staff."

Skimpy meals are turrible, just turrible.

Somebody neglected to tell these gents that if they kept on getting' into trouble and breakin' the law, it would only lead to one thing: incarceration. They would have no more carefree hours; no more doin' what they wanted to when they wanted to; no more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.It is definitely no fun when that iron door clangs shut on you.
