I've been reading some pretty choice quotes from an October 2008 decision from the US District Court for Arizona, in the litigation against the despicable sheriff, Joe Arpaio, and the Maricopa County jail system.
See:
Graves, et al. vs. Arpaio, et al., No. CV-77-0479-PHX-NVW, Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Order (D. Ariz. Oct. 22, 2008, at pages 68-69:
388. The Maricopa County Jails dietician’s opinion is that there is no nutritional difference among different fruits, vegetables, meats, and starches, and it is unnecessary to distinguish a cup of lettuce from a cup of green beans, a banana from an apple, or a hot dog from turkey.
389. The Maricopa County Jails dietician’s opinion is that French fries, diced potatoes, rice, and macaroni are of equal nutritional value.
390. The Maricopa County Jails dietician’s opinion is that one ounce of beef has the same nutritional value as one ounce of turkey.
391. The Maricopa County Jails dietician’s opinions regarding nutritional equivalents are not credible, and the Court does not believe them.
...
416. Therefore, prospective relief remains necessary to correct a current and ongoing violation of the pretrial detainees’ federal right to adequate nutrition.
417. Paragraph 95 of the Amended Judgment will not be terminated because Defendant Arpaio has not met his burden of proving there is no current and ongoing violation of pretrial detainees’ constitutional right to adequate nutrition.
