It is the responsiblity of the jail to provide with basic life needs. It is not thir job to maintain everyones demand on calorie count per day unless it is ordered by a docotr. The menus in a county fanility are to be approved not only by the Texas Jail Standards and im sure there is one similer in your state but it is alose to approved by a dietcian as well. If every inmate in the facility was getting the same meals as the inmate in which we speak then this is not cruel and unusual it seems to me this is the typical inmate who is looking to find or get something out of the county. If he was that concerned with his diet and his healt he would not be the size he is out in the free world or he would ask to seek medical attention if he feels there is other issues going on with him. Please choose something else to grip and complaine about besides the food or calories in jail clearly you dont care out in free world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
