Inmates who misbehave at the Curry County, N.M., jail may have to pay with their palates. If inmates throw their food, a common problem at the Curry County Adult Detention Center, they could be served a punishment known as prison loaf. The loaf consists of an entire meal ground up, floured, baked and served in a breadlike form. Administrator Don Burdine said he tasted the loaf before agreeing to serve it. ''It really wasn't that bad,'' he said. ''It kind of tasted like a carrot loaf with fish in it.'' He said it would be ''unpleasant'' for people who value the texture and appearance of their food. It has the same nutritional value as a regular prison meal. But the mother of an inmate, Janie Pena, said the loaf is not an appropriate form of punishment. ''It's OK for them to be punished,'' Pena said. ''But not with food. They are not dogs. Even dogs deserve better than that.'' |
