    If I remember right, this wasn’t even illegal. A lot of places in the US still have this ancient (and fucking ridiculous even back when it was new) rule that the sheriff gets to pocket any leftover cash from the prisoner care budget.

    Yeah, anyways this is usually the reason behind it whenever you read anything about prisoners being fed roadkill or spoiled food or whatever. Ancient, incredibly brazen corruption.

        From this boot licking deepthroating article he was accused of molesting a 15 year old, the investigation ended with no charges filed and he lost his re-election campaign. He later filed a defamation suit against Connor Sheets, the man who wrote the articles about the food budget and statutory rape allegations. No idea how that turned out.

        Seriously though, don’t click the link unless you want to be mad. The author basically spends all his time going “Well it wasn’t legally wrong so that makes it morally upright!” it is fucking fawning.
