Crime & Federalism

Here's the frivolous lawsuit of the day, filed on behalf of prison inmates who don't like the taste of their food.  There are lots of things about prison conditions that should disturb every civilized human being.  That some food doesn't taste so good is not one of those conditions.

Here, incidentally, is the quote of the day:

"[Prison loaf] is commonplace in other states as a way of providing nutrition in a mechanism that dissuades inmates from throwing feces, urine, trays and silverware," said Vermont Corrections Commissioner Rob Hofmann.

Some people really should be kept separated from society.
