NEW HAMPSHIRE - A New Hampshire prison inmate's file drove a federal judge to rhyme to express himself. U.S. District Court Judge James Muirhead reached for Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" for inspiration when a prison inmate protesting his diet attached a hard-boiled egg to documents sent to court. "I do not like eggs in the file. I do not like them in any style. I will not take them fried or boiled. I will not take them poached or broiled. I will not take them soft or scrambled Despite an argument well-rambled," Muirhead wrote in his response to inmate Charles Wolffe. Wolffe says he is an Orthodox Jew and has accused prison officials of refusing to feed him a kosher diet. He is seeking to the proper foods and $10 million from the state. His case has been scheduled for a trial. |

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

I work in a federal contract prison in California and can not stand the frivolous law suits that are filed by inmates. I understand it is their right to file. I also understand that in stead of programing in a positive manner they pass their time in this manner. They waste a great deal of time with court personnel and the jurors that have to go and spend time away from work or families to listen to the B.S. that they try to fill the court systems with. I love the response that the judge sent this idiot but cannot understand why we wasteour time with these types of law suits. It is just prison propaganda that is used to file the courts up with nonesense. They should have a court system inside the prisons that can hear these type of suits and the inmates should have to attend every hearing and listen to everything that law abiding people have to listen to when these things are brought to the courts. The inmate is loving every minute of the attention that he gets as a rsult of acknowledgements given to him by him being able to go to court. He gets out of prison for a while and eats differently and gets to see different people because most of the time no one comes to see him inside and people have to listen to his B.S. and responde to him. What a waste of time and money on something that will go nowhere. Signed amazed and confused at the justice system. Is there one, really?
