Times change. It's time we move on into the GIFT CARDS 21st century," said Orr. 90 DAYS Back when chain gangs SAME AS CASH 221-2066 were common in the late 1920s, Alabama passed a law that gave sheriffs $1.75 a day from the state to feed each prisoner, and sheriffs got to pocket anything that was left over. Jails in most of Al- abama's 67 counties re- main on the system generations later. Sheriffs also get small payments from the state per jail. Some also receive pay- ments from cities and the federal government for holding prisoners, further boosting income. Add up all the money and a dash of frugality, like purchasing low-cost grub and accepting donated food, and sheriffs can wind up with large profits from jailhouse kitchens. Attorney Aaron Littman, who helped sue earlier this year trying to find out how much sheriffs are making off jail food, said lawyers regularly hear complaints about poor living condi- tions and lousy food in jails. "It's no way to run gov- ernment," said Littman, of the Atlanta-based South- ern Center for Human Rights. Alabama is the only state with such a setup, he said. Littman questions the legality of sheriffs pocket- ing the money. The Southern Center, which advocates for change in the criminal justice sys- tem, sued with the non- profit Alabama Appleseed for Law and Justice in Jan- uary to make 49 sheriffs re- lease information that would show how much they are making off jail food. Sheriffs have refused, ar- guing in court that the numbers are personal and private. Some of the amounts have been revealed.
