A group of former inmates at an Arizona prison say they were served meat labelled 'not for human consumption,' echoing several other claims made by prisoners allegedly served unfit meat in recent years.
The outlet says the claims were made by six women who were incarcerated at Arizona's Perryville prison from the early 2000s until earlier this year. All of the former inmates say they saw meat explicitly labelled with indications it was not for humans. The questionable meat included boxes of whole chicken and packages of spoiled green lunchmeat.
The Arizona Department of Corrections denies that any unfit food was served to prisoners. This is not the only alleged impropriety the department has been accused of in recent times. In a lawsuit filed, the department was accused of repeatedly failing to comply with a 2015 settlement intended to improve inadequate inmate health care. The situation has resulted in a call by prisoners and advocacy groups for a federal takeover of the prison health care system.
Legal challenges to allegedly poor conditions in prisons don't always go the way of the prisoners. A lawsuit by a group of Oregon prisoners, who say they were also fed food labelled"not for human consumption," wasby a judge in July. The ruling stated that the food, which prisoners claim was served to them rotten and sometimes covered in mold, was adequate because it only"caused occasional illness but no other adverse health impacts.
Arizona prison food is supplied by Trinity Services Group, a Florida-based company which describes itself as a"national leader in correctional food service." The company serves 43 states, and is to maintain over $500 million in annual revenue. Trinity has faced multiple allegations of supplying inadequate and unfit food in several states.
