Prison Food

As much as we criticize the Ragister, we would be remiss if we didn't point out something we agree with.

Don't like meals? Stay out of jail

That's the Ragister's editorial board reaction to the three inmates at the Black Hawk County jail who filed federal lawsuits claiming their civil rights are being violated by skimpy meals.

It would be nice if the Ragister was more consistent with this way of thinking (and the scientific community is united in that fact)
having, in the past, wondered if sentences too harsh? and seeing the laws as the problem, not the people who choose to violate those laws and commit crimes.
