The director of state prison inspections has recommended the state begin researching prison food vendors after a series of well-publicized incidents including maggots in food. The Correctional Institution Inspection Committee this week received a compilation of preliminary recommendations submitted after a late July update on problems with Aramark.

Committee members Rep. Peter Beck, R-Mason; Rep. Robert Hagan, D-Youngstown; and Rep. Nicholas Celebrezze, D-Parma, all recommended the state break its contract with Aramark.
