Private Prison Company Forced Inmates To Eat Delicious Garbage Buffet

[phantom power]

The wonders of privatization just keep piling up.

A prison food corporation in Michigan is under fire — again — this time for literally feeding their prisoners trash from the garbage can.

Aramark Correctional Services is a Philadelphia-based private company that provides food to prisons in all 50 states and 22 countries. And oh look! Yr Wonkette has examined them before for feeding their prisoners spoiled meat kept in maggot-encrusted kitchens. Mmm mmm, good.

...

As vomit-inducing as this latest allegation is, it’s just one more on top of the shit pile. Aramark was already fined $200,000 from the state of Michigan and $272,000 from the state of Ohio for their horrible service, but now they’re being sued by a Michigan inmate for serving spoiled food:

On the menu – Meatballs, gravy, noodles, bread, cooked carrots and cake or a cookie – didn’t match what was on the plate, which contained a green and spoiled hamburger patty, cold gravy, cold noodles with a vinegar odor, raw carrots, moldy bread and a green orange in place of dessert, the lawsuit claims. The milk was warm and past its expiration date.

2. Its now haute cuisine

NY restauranteur Dan Barber closed his restaurant -Blue Hill - for the month of March to do a pop-up concept restaurant called WastED. It features food made from scraps provided from other restaurants. Aka garbage. Apparently there have been lines waiting to get a table.
