Incarcerated Inmates Sue Jail For $1,000 A Day Because They Are So Hungry At Night All They Can do Is Ball Up And Cry In Pain

I wouldn't classify hunger as being "painful" (from my experience, anyway).

Then pray you never get locked up in the Black Hawk County Jail.

Boo hoo, perhaps they will consider behaving when they are released then.


serves them right

they should be grateful...some people are actually TRYING to get into jail just to have the little food the inmates are complaining about.

This is totally unjust and they will surely win their lawsuit I hope.

Many of those guys are in there for drugs and other stupid shit. SO MANY OF YOU could end up where they are for so many stupid reasons. The US jails people over jack shit, meanwhile they let billionaire pedophiles go to fancy white collar prison for a year when they sex traffic under aged girls. It's a fucked system. And they should be FED as they are hungry.

+1

obviously you've never been hungry, i'm not saying the prisoners are but when you are really, truly hungry there is a terrible gnawing ache

I'll second this....

They are Hongry as dogs Brother.

If you read the article you will find they can't even steal food from the other convicts without the guards coming down on them.

They get 3 squares a day, and I'm guessing the 2100 calorie daily requirement... more than a lot of our fellow Americans are getting. They should shut the fuck up and realize that Prison is PUNISHMENT.

I drove past Florence AZ and saw the (male) inmates out in the prison yard there. Scary! They all looked like bulked up monsters.

If Iowa's having that problem, they may be right to feed less food, so the inmates cannot bulk up like that. Becoming the meanest motherfucker in town should not be a prisoner's right.

That's telling me aversion therapy is working.....

Commit crime = jail = hungry and balled up and crying from pain

Prison food is soilent green..............

inmates Tony Grider, Jessie Davis and Charles Mack Jr, said their jail's meal plan is far inferior other jails'

These boys seem to know their jails and jailhouse cuisine. If they say its skimpy I'll have to take their word for it. For fucks sake they only get three fucking dry ass cookies at dinner time and hardly a drop of juice to wash it down with. That's criminal in itself.

Obviously

=D

Yep, It makes you ball up and cry in pain.

Whatever. Prison IS punishment, but not "cruel and unsusal". To deprive of nutrition is fucked up. Esp. since a lot of those guys are not in for life and that shit can make them sick.

I love how all over you think you're so immune to this system. Like EVERYONE in prison is a "bad guy" and you're some goodie. Jesus.

anybody ever see the show on the prisons in south america where they get fed 1 time every two weeks. and they get fed resteraunt scraps at that. they get water once a week. the average inmate ways 140 lbs...

quit your complaining bitches...

We all need to watch the outcome of this case. The prison industry in the United States will boom over the next decade as multinational corporations turn to prison slave labor in America to keep profits climbing.

We are already seeing Americans locked up for growing their own food. More and more daily activities will be classified as illegal to satisfy the corporate demand for prison labor.

AMEN BROTHER!!!

And I suppose you speak from experience.

Jail/prison (serving time) is where one goes AS punishment.

Jail/prison is not where you go FOR punishment.

Hunger is not why you are sent to jail when you commit a crime.

Jail is also the holding place while people go through the judicial system. Presumed innocent until guilty, starvation can readily be seen as a way to 'torture' confessions out of people.

Considering how many innocent people may actually be accepting a plea bargain due to how that "system" works, we have to wonder if hunger is not going to push more people to 'accept a plea' to reduce their sentence in order to make it end sooner.

Plea bargaining and the innocent:

Why Innocent People Confess
It's not a breakdown of American justice. It's American justice working as designed.

Those of you who think these guys have it coming, haven't considered the full ramifications here.

Which is EXACTLY what the government wants from you.

Ask yourself this, why is there all of these 'police/crime' shows on TV? CSI, Bones, Cops, yada yada yada - every night nearly every channel has a police-state propaganda show going.

Its to make it to where people believe that trial by jury is taking place (98% of cases never go to trial).

Its to make you believe that inmates are animals (Mind all of those prison shows are only focused on the worse prisons).

You have been slowly brain washed to view 'justice' as being good.

I went without tv for 17 years.

It was quite enlightening upon returning to the tube to see the denigration of the human body, which is all that's being portrayed in those shows. Standard fare. Wasn't so 17 years ago, as bad as it was then, it wasn't monstrous yet.

The public's health and well-being is so not being served by constant images from a morgue of flayed bodies. It's not entertainment, but "something else".

My guess is all the shows you mentioned have some serious "black" funding/writers and are servicing an agenda of desensitization and dehumnanization.

what do you want to bet that this is a for-profit prison? all you folks who are screaming for 'justice?' better realize that the prison industry is a big-money business and fat cat investors influence the judicial system to stock their prisons.

wait 'til the money really dries up and prisoners are fed horse meat from the blm.

you think that's not part of the plan??

fools

Thirteenth amendment:


"Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

As you can see, Slavery was never abolished in this country. All that was done was to make slavvery a instrument of the government. In other words, slavery was no longer a private institution, but was nationalized.


Under the wording or the Thirteenth amendment, the government could easily sell all the people they have incarcerated out to private concerns for their labor. (but only for the length of time of the punishment One woould suppose...)

True, Real pain. I am not posting 'pro' or 'con' on this tactic of slow starvation,,They did comit some crime or they would'nt be there. But the people of that county need to decide if they are in favor torture or not! Just tell the truth and let everyone know. Then move on.

I live and work in Florence, about 2 blocks from the prison. YOu can NOT see the prisoners just 'driving by.' BTW I work in that industry as well. So let me call...

...................fuck your ignorance

I say let them cook their own damn food! Frealz, introduce them to the George Formann grill, set up a personal bar (no larger than 6x6), add a minifridge, a couple of rocking chairs, and a checker set from Cracker Barrel. If that don't do the trick, fuck it.
