County Prisoners to Get Pre-Made Meals

At Thursday’s meeting, the Fayette County Commissioners Court approved a contract with Five Star Correctional Services for inmate meals at the Fayette County Jail. The company will provide pre-made meals from a menu created by a licenced dietician. The new service will provide some savings to the County. Beyer said the Sheriff’s Office currently spends about $2.06 per meal. The meals from Five Star Correctional Services will cost about $1.60 on average. The Court authorized a one-year contract with the company. – Andy Behlen
