Sugar-Free Pokey

By Anne Skove, Esq.

As someone who may or may not have violated South Beach rules on Valentine's Day (hey, champagne, Ghiradelli, and the little toast rounds beneath the caviar were at stake!), we found it interesting to learn that inmates in NYC jails not only lose access to the outside world, but also to unhealthy food.

Those serving time will be getting more servings of healthy food, such as:

• Unsweetened muffins


• Wheat bread


• Skim milk


• No butter

The department of corrections believes healthier inmates will save them in the long run.
