Faves for this Web page
A very interesting prison litigation story that doesn't involve Johnathan Lee Riches or GITMO.
Quoted: Prisoners sue over Nutraloaf with some regularity, usually arguing either that their due process rights have been violated (because they are served the punitive loaves without a hearing) or that the dish is so disgusting as to make it cruel and unusual and thus a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

"Courts have nearly all found that prison food can be unappetizing, cold, and even contain foreign objects, and still not be unconstitutional."
wow. i certainly didn't think that prisoners would need delicious meals, but i also didn't realize that it would be okay to put paper or lightbulbs in their sandwiches.
I'm pretty sure the lightbulb thing only happened at UHaul during a bygone era; even American prisons aren't that crazy.
