The End to Nutraloaf

Created by B.L. on March 05, 2016

Nutraloaf, a cruel and unusual punishment used by Prisons in The United States of America, which should be banned in America.

Nutraloaf is a what seems like juvenile form of punishment used by the prison system, prisons across the country are allowed to create their own recipe, "...some resort to grinding up leftovers into a dense mass that's reheated." (The Loaf). If that isn't enough, "In Pennsylvania state prisons, "food loaf" is made with milk, rice, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, oatmeal, beans and margarine." (The Loaf).

Three states have banned this form of punishment (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and New York) the rest of the country should follow in their footsteps.
