Geez. Pass the ketchup, haha. I would think that eating that crap would punish the cellmate also when the gas began to flow. I think that it is perfectly legal as long as it is nutritionally sound and will form a turd on the other end. Our county jail here serves two meals a day. Scrambled powdered eggs and dry toast in the morning and baloney sandwiches for supper along with some sort of fruit or veg. No lunch unless you are out of the jail on a work detail.I guess they don't pass a menu around and come back in a few minutes for your order in ANY jail that I know of. It's not a culinary tour, it's jail for gosh sakes. I crack up thinking of some poor slob sitting there eating his nutri-loaf, and watching some gourmet cook on the cooking channel. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound, haha.

I could not imagine being in the jail for over a week or so. You would never want to see scrambled eggs or baloney again ever. As for the Nutri-loaf, I would bet that after a week or two of that, dog poop would taste like chocolate ice cream, haha. ( Actually I hope to never have to spend even an hour in jail. :

Clip, I can remember when those held in our city jail was served their meals from the White Tower downtown. Now, I wouldn't mind spending a few nights incarcerated if I was fed that good. ;D

Yep, in later years Chris told me it was egg mcmuffins and a coffee, in the morning and burgers for later meals. Hey, probably cheaper than having a jail cook like they do at the county jail. The city lock up is usually only a stop over and if you don't make bail, they send ya in the wagon to OCJ. I could be wrong.

Yeah, probably right now but I believe it was longer during the White Tower days, especially if you were picked up on the weekends.

About time someone stated this. I bet it cuts back on the food budget as well.

All the criminals will spend their days in the OCJ, even accused-felons. After the felons are convicted, they are shipped off to state prison, while the misdemeanors stay at OCJ.

Which is the big difference a lot of people don't realize. Too many confuse prisons and jails. they are not the same.

True. We use to have city jails right in Utica. The old one which I believe was torn down in the 60's was on Bleecker St and went to the back on Jay Street which did hold both men and women. I believe now if one is convicted and sentence to a year and under one stays at OCJ. Any sentence over one is sent to a prison. All depending on the sentence and crime it can be either a minimum, medium or max prison, state or federal. Does get confusing.
