The Jail food really sucks

Do you think Patrol Deputies have refrigerators in their cruisers? They use a cooler with an ice pack.

They sell plug in coolers now. No need for ice packs anymore.

Following criticism that some Alabama sheriffs profited large sums of money by skimping on jailhouse meals, Gov. Kay Ivey said Tuesday that the state will no longer give jail food funds to "sheriffs personally."

In a memo to the state comptroller, Ivey rescinded the state's 2008 policy of "paying prisoner food service allowances directly to sheriffs in their personal capacities."

"All such funds should be directed to the county general fund or to an account established for the sheriff's official use," Ivey wrote.


Etowah sheriff pockets jail food funds, buys $740k home

Some Etowah County residents question how a county sheriff making a five-figure annual salary can afford to own multiple houses, including one worth nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.

For years, some sheriffs have made extra money -- sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars -- under a Depression-era funding system that critics have argued gives a profit incentive to feed inmates poorly. A law passed in the days when chain gangs were common, gives sheriffs $1.75 a day to feed each prisoner and another statute said the sheriffs can "retain" excess money.

The controversy has centered on the meaning of "retain" and whether that means personally or for official use.

Beach house sheriff defends inmate-feeding practices, slams 'fake news'

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin on Friday slammed "fake news" and repeatedly denied that he has done anything wrong by pocketing more than $750,000 worth of public money allocated to feed inmates in the county jail he oversees.

Ivey's legal office cited a 2011 attorney general's opinion that funds can only be used for "feeding prisoners." The office said that trumped a 2008 opinion that said the sheriff can keep the money as "personal income" and set up the previous policy, instituted on May 1, 2008, of "paying the food service allowance to sheriffs as personal income."

Ivey wrote that she asked her legal office to review the validity of the policy of paying sheriffs directly.

Some sheriffs have significantly boosted their income from excess food funds.

Etowah County Sheriff loses GOP primary

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin has conceded to his opponent in the Republican primary for the position he currently holds.

A federal judge in 2009 held Morgan County Sheriff Greg Bartlett, who made $212,000 over three years off excess food funds, in contempt of court for failing to feed inmates properly.

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin, who lost re-election, released tax forms showing he made a profit of $672,392 from the jail kitchen in 2015 and 2016.
