Inmates fined over prison mashed potato fight
Two female inmates at a German prison have been served a hefty fine for a brawl that began with a food fight.
German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported Wednesday that the cellmates at a prison in Augsburg began throwing potato mash at each other following a disagreement. Then one woman threw her entire plate at the other, who responded in kind.
The situation then escalated into a brawl in which both inmates were injured, dpa reported.
A court in the southern town of Augsburg sentenced one defendant to pay a fine of $3,045 while the other received a fine of $2,030. If they fail to pay, the women can spend another 180 or 120 days behind bars, respectively.
