Florida Serving Rotten Food to Death Row Inmates
This makes us ill. Send an e-mail to Jeb Bush and tell him it turns your stomach too.
DEATH ROW PRISONERS COMPLAINING OF ROTTEN FOOD
Is Aramark in Violation Of Its Contract?
Reports coming out of Florida prisons indicate that portions have been cut, and more frequently, rotten food has caused prisoners hungry enough to eat it to become ill with symptoms indicating food poisoning.
Support groups for FL death row inmates have long been receiving messages about the food service suggesting sub-standard food, uncooked food, filthy trays, dirty utensils, foreign objects found in the food, food served at the wrong temperature, etc. Recent food poisoning incidents on death row might have been prevented had the prisons paid reasonable attention to the grievances which have been filed by the inmates, in accordance with Department of Corrections rules. However, the DOC chose to ignore such grievances, ostensibly on the basis that "because the food [mentioned on the grievance] had long since been discarded, no investigation [was] possible." While the DOC acknowledged the problem, no action was taken to investigate or remedy the problem.
