Sheriff jailed as inmates claim lack of food

luvmyhubby · Jan 8, 2009

"Inmates told of getting half an egg, a spoonful of oatmeal and one piece of toast most days for breakfast, served at 3 a.m. daily. Lunch is usually a handful of chips and two sandwiches with barely enough peanut butter to taste."

The crazy part is he is still the sheriff

Clemon, however, said the sheriff would be jailed until he comes up with a plan to provide the 300 jail inmates with nutritionally adequate meals, as required by a 2001 court order. Rhea said a plan may be drawn up Wednesday night and sent to the judge.

Clemon said the Alabama law allowing sheriffs to take home surplus meal money is "probably unconstitutional," but his ruling was limited to the finding that the court order was violated. It didn't address whether the law should be overturned.

They should go back in time . . . have the family bring food. If no one brings anything, you get bread and water.

I'm curious, how much of the proceeds he has reported to the IRS. Sounds like there is no check and balances in the system.
