COLLINS, Miss. (AP) A South Dakota-based company has been chosen to provide daily meals to inmates at a Mississippi jail.
Covington County supervisors voted this week to award a contract to Summit Jail Food Service of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to handle food service at the county jail, WDAM-TV reported.
Only two companies bid to provide meal service at the jail, and Sheriff Darrell Perkins said the offer from Summit Jail Food Service was the lowest of the two.
The company will prepare and serve three meals a day at the new kitchen facility at the Covington County Law Enforcement Complex. Construction of that kitchen started in 2019 and was completed in early 2020. The cost of the facility was nearly $500,000.

The settlement resolves allegations that over the course of nearly a decade, Dr. Wilson Asfora and his distributorships, Medical Designs and Sicage, knowingly and willfully engaged in three kickback schemes to allow Asfora to profit from his use of over a dozen devices in his medical procedures.
Federal officials contended in a 2019 lawsuit that Asfora made millions of dollars by performing unnecessary and dangerous surgeries, including one that left a patient partially paralyzed.
