Prisons are running out of food (Greece)

I am a firm believer in prisons growing their own food.

In Texas, we used to have that. Food Production, sewing clothes, building furniture. It benefitted not only the prisons here, but the state hospitals which were supplied with those things via the prisons..

I think it was in the early nineties, maybe late eighties a lawsuit was filed against the State of Texas by the poor abused prisoners who were expected to do their share.

Working became voluntary, and it was soon..weightlifting rooms, tv's, and other such amenities for the Prisons.

This changed the State Hospital System, and the Prison System in Texas, and not for the better, IMHO.

“...I’ve lived in Corinth for the last thirty years...”

Corinth Texas or Corinth Minnesota? People get the two mixed up.

Welcome to the Island. You have beautiful skin--like Corinthian leather from the Corinthiatic cattle--and we are happy to have you for dinner.

Interesting.

Even though they are bad people, they have no choice but to be on the dole.

Should they suck hind teat to those who had a choice?

(Bologne for all!) ;-)

Corinth, Mississippi. The historical place for the largest number of military troops ever involved in a siege on the North American continent. It is also the home to the largest number of soldiers buried in the USA from the Civil War, somewhere between five and ten thousand.

You motivated me to read a little of your Cival War history. We salute Corinth and fallen soldiers buried there. May they rest in peace.

We had a case in Florida a few days ago where a man ate the face off another man...
