Some Colorado prisoners are complaining their food is for the birds. Five straight turkey dinners prompted El Paso County jail inmates to go on a brief hunger strike. The inmates refused to eat Saturday, arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel. Sheriff's officials said Wednesday that the hunger strike lasted a half hour. "Turkey, turkey and more turkey is not a form of punishment," the sheriff's office said in a tongue-in-cheek prepared statement. "The inmates accepted this reasoning and gobbled up their dinner meal." The inmates had spaghetti for dinner Wednesday with turkey-based meat sauce. |
