The AP is reporting that Sniper Suspect Complains About Jail Food:
Sniper suspect and vegetarian John Lee Malvo says he's getting sick from eating prison food.Don't tell him about the bacon grease in the toothpaste! And thank goodness he isn't French - who knows what he would be demanding?
He says he's suffering from digestive disorders from a Virginia jail's meatless loaf, which he said is served to some inmates for disciplinary reasons.
For the past two weeks, the Fairfax County jail has been serving the 17-year-old Malvo something called "the loaf" -- a hodgepodge of flour, raisins, carrots, potatoes and other ingredients baked into brown cakes.
His court-appointed guardian said the teen has health problems as a result. He's asking the sheriff to give Malvo regular vegetarian meals in accordance with his Muslim beliefs.
Malvo started getting the loaf after complaining that that prison meat wasn't prepared the proper Muslim way.
