We've come a long way if this is what we consider cruel and unusual punishment. (entire article quoted below)
Five straight turkey dinners prompted El Paso County jail inmates to go on a brief hunger strike. The inmates refused to eat Saturday, arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel.If that's the case, then my mother inflicted cruelty on us every week after Thanksgiving.
Sheriff's officials said Wednesday that the hunger strike ended after about half an hour."Turkey, turkey and more turkey is not a form of punishment," the Sheriff's Office said in a tongue-in-cheek prepared statement. "The inmates accepted this reasoning and gobbled up their dinner meal."
The inmates had spaghetti for dinner Wednesday � with turkey-based meat sauce.

Let them go on a hunger strike; better yet, don't feed them for a few days and see how quick they start ASKING for turkey...
