Lack of a proper nutritional diet by the BOP leads to disease and shortened life span of prisoners

Kimball has been well advised by high BOP staff that the amount of money allowed to feed each prisoner depends upon which prison the prisoner is assigned to by the BOP.

Money allocated to feed each prisoner varies:

Under $2.00 to $2.85 per day to feed Prisoners is "all" that is "allowed" by the BOP.

Example: Leavenworth prison, in Leavenworth, Kansas, allows a maximum of $2.00 per day to feed each prisoner, states a high BOP staff member as of 3/21/04.

Example: Coleman Low Prison, in Coleman, Florida allowed $2.85 per day to feed each prisoner in 2001 stated high BOP staff members.

Example: Yazoo punishment prison, in Yazoo, Mississippi allows a maximum of $2.32 per day to feed each prisoner as of March 21, 2004; touts a high BOP staff member at Yazoo that's $846.80 per year maximum allowed per year per prisoner at Yazoo prison in Yazoo, Mississippi.

The BOP cries out it costs taxpayers approximately
$30,000 per year to house each prisoner

Where does the other $29,153.20 disappear to?

It sure doesn't go for food

It sure doesn't go to house prisoners
(The prisons were all paid for when they were built)

Where Does The Money Go??

The BOP makes money on prisoners'
labor and families

The BOP must receive some income from the
sweatshops "UNICOR" on BOP property
paying prisoners 15 to 50 cents per hour

Review The Sweatshops UNICOR

The BOP makes a "substantial profit"
on their commissary sales; price gouging
the prisoner and their families; violating the law.

The BOP's education department informed Kimball
the BOP receives grant monies of $2,500 for each
prisoner completing their GED diploma. 100's in each
prison complete their GED yearly, bringing in
hundreds of thousands of dollars

What happens to all this money??

$2.00 to $2.85 per person is not enough to
"properly" feed any person per day

Nutrition does not exist in the BOP, however:

  • Nutrition builds the immune system
  • Nutrition promotes a healthy person and life
  • Poor nutrition (which is what's provided throughout
    the BOP) hurts the immune system, promotes unhealthy
    people and shortens the life span of every person.

As An Example:

At Yazoo punishment prison the normal daily diet is rice and beans. The meat when such is served, which is maybe 3 times weekly, is meat this writer has never seen in 64 years of life. The pressed meat used once a week for sandwiches, or hoagies smells bad. Yazoo was the first place this writer ever saw green processed meat.

For well over a year once a week, Yazoo served chicken; one very small leg and thigh that had a large portion of black in the meat. Prisoners raised around chicken farms advised this writer, the black was blood, caused by the slaughterhouse not bleeding the chicken properly. Those people refused to eat the chicken and further advised this writer, that the chicken given the prisoners could not be sold to the public.

Yazoo stopped serving prisoners the unbled chickens, as food poisoning was running ramped at Yazoo. Lately Yazoo has been serving chicken quarters classified by inmates as coming from pigmy chickens. Each leg and quarter measures about 2" each and contains about 1 oz of meat. Only one is given to each prisoner. This writer was advised, that because the chickens were miniature, the public would not be apt to purchase them.

For a year and half Yazoo had nothing green in their lettuce. A fresh vegetable is just about non-existent. The vegetables served are out of cans that are cooked so much they are mush; cooking out any nutrients that may have existed when they were put in the can.

The hamburgers that are served appear to full of fillers and are tasteless. In this writer's 64 years, I have never eaten a hamburger that tastes anything like what Yazoo Prison calls, hamburgers. When Yazoo puts pork chops on their menu; what is served is some sort of shredded meat that smells as bad as it looks. This writer has had "one" pork chop in the two years at Yazoo Prison.

The beans that are served at Yazoo are not rinsed off or cleaned and contain maggots and just plain dirt. Rat droppings are in the rice, an abundance of times.

"Food Poisoning" is in abundance

Many prisoners to include this writer will not eat any meat served at Yazoo due to repetitive food poisoning. Although this writer had his most serious case of food poisoning after he quit eating the meat at Yazoo.

The BOP at Yazoo refuses to sell
nutritious food in their commissary
or provide microwave ovens to cook with

Review- One of the Worst Torture and Death Camps

The BOP shortens the life expectancy of every
prisoner
with malnutrition while causing serious
abuse of prisoners
with constant food poisoning

What happens to all the money??

$2.00 - $2.85 a day allowed to feed each
prisoner
is cruel and abusive and puts
each prisoner
in danger

The BOP does NOT spend much money
On "sanitary" items for prisoners

  • The BOP does not supply paper toilet covers for john seats
  • The BOP rations toilet paper causing prisoners to go without any toilet paper at times.
  • The BOP does not provide soap in most of their bathrooms. Soap appears sporadically.
  • Toilet paper is almost never supplied in BOP bathrooms.
  • Paper to wipe a prisoner's hands after washing is all but non-existent.
  • The soap which is handed out to prisoners once a week is NOT antibacterial. Many prisoners have an allergic reaction to it.
  • The toothbrushes handed out to prisoners once a week, last about 3 days and will take the enamel off anyone's teeth in short order.
  • The clothes to include underwear provided by the BOP are used for the most part.
  • The bed mattresses provided by the BOP are deformed, worn out and urine stained for the most part.

Sickness and disease are at epidemic proportion
at most BOP prisons.

At Yazoo and other prisons an anti-biotic
resistant strain of
staph infection is in
epidemic proportions as is tuberculosis

and chicken pox at Big Spring, Texas
and other Federal prisons.

The BOP doesn't spend the money preventing
disease
caused by "Malnutrition"

The BOP doesn't spend the money
preventing disease at "All"

The BOP promotes disease by "refusing" to prevent it

What does the BOP do with the $30,000 Plus
it receives per inmate?

$2.00 to $2.85 per day to feed each prisoner is
NOT ENOUGH!!
