FLORIDA - Florida is returning to in-house food service for its prisons while the Legislature cuts spending in the nation's third-largest state prison system. Philadelphia-based Aramark withdrew its food services from Florida's prisons last month. The company said it couldn't make money due to the rising cost of bread, milk and other staples amid pressure from the state to cut costs. A smaller, Florida-based food service company, Trinity Services Group of Oldsmar, also has pulled out of the state's prisons. The state paid the two vendors $85 million for the fiscal year 2007-2008. The current year's food budget is $76 million. Prison menus will change to save money. Inmates will get corn bread instead of sliced bread at some meals, fewer sweetener packets and orange juice that comes from concentrate. |
