SAN FRANCISCO (CN) Despite disturbing reports of pest invasions and contaminated food, a federal judge on Monday refused to impose stricter health and safety requirements on a county jail’s industrial kitchen.
Inmates at Alameda County’s Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, California, reported finding cockroaches in sandwiches, rat feces on bread and razor shards in oatmeal, among other troubling testimony.
The jail and its contractor Aramak, which runs the kitchen, denied many of those claims. They cited health inspections that found zero pest problems and emphasized that the jail has used a pest control service for the kitchen five days a week since October 2019.
