I think some if not most of the folks are missing the point on the Provincial jail food article.
My issue has more to do with Brad Walls comments than with the issue itself. We, has in the people of this great land Canada, have come up with a list of crimes & the punishments that, when convicted, you will receive. From a stern talking to all the way to life in prison ( they call it that I don't )
I have yet to figure out any rhyme, reason or how the sliding scales work for each but that's another days rant.
Yes, we all agree, don't like the food, stay out of jail. However, it's not that simple, and this is where Brad missed the point.
If the inmates were complaining about taste, quantity, or variety of the food, well I would not see a problem. Brads comments that "I looked at the menu, they have a good choice' or " I've eaten the company’s food at other venues across Saskatchewan and it was pretty good" is not indicative of what they serve at the jail.
The image used is supplied by the Government, so take that for what it's worth. And I can tell you that the food would be of higher quality if they knew the premiere was dining at the jail tonight.
So my point being is that we created the law's & punishments. When we send someone to jail we become the wards, Brad being a part of the gatekeepers . We have, under the human rights code, to provide these people with enough quality food to sustain them.
We have all seen movies from the 18th or 19th century where inmates were given gruel or food with bugs mixed in, we're way past that I would hope.
Brad is right about going to jail, and the menu, but that does not speak to the quality of the food. As this is not the first complaint about the company Compass that supplies the food, maybe someone should look a bit deeper, and that would be what Brad should have said.
