New Mexico Inmates Punished With 'Prison Loaf'
CLOVIS, N.M. (July 1) - Inmates who misbehave at the Curry County jail may have to pay with their palates under a new punishment known as prison loaf.
If inmates throw their food, a common problem at the Curry County Adult Detention Center, they could be served a prison loaf, which consists of an entire meal ground up, floured, baked and served in a bread-like form.
Curry County Adult Detention Center Administrator Don Burdine said he tasted the prison loaf before agreeing to serve it to prisoners.
"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.
But the mother of an inmate, Janie Pena, said prison loaf is not an appropriate form of punishment.
"It's OK for them to be punished," Pena said as she waited to visit her son at the jail. "But not with food. They are not dogs, even dogs deserve better than that."
The prison loaf is derived from the same foods served to inmates in whole form on a daily basis, so it has the same nutritional value as a regular prison meal, Burdine said.
The advantage to the loaf form, he said, is "it can't make as big a mess."
