Some inmates at the Bedford County Jail recently complained to family that “bugs” were in their food.
Jenefer Sullivan says she was video calling her son-in-law, who’s an inmate at the jail, shortly after he received his breakfast.
In screenshots taken from the video call, several dark, gnat-sized specks are visible stuck in the eggs and oatmeal.
Bedford County Sheriff Austin Swing said this could happen. But to his knowledge, he says he’s never received a complaint until now.
According to Sheriff Swing, the jail conducts monthly pest control maintenance to prevent such things from happening. Swing said the state requires inmates to receive at least two hot meals a day. Bedford County Corrections serves them lunch in addition to breakfast and dinner. It’s one way Swing says they go beyond what they’re required by law to do.
But if bugs are found in the food, inmates are not required to eat the food, Swing told the T-G. They may be given another meal, Swing said.
According to Sullivan, when they complained to the County, her son-in-law claims he was told “to eat it or not eat it.”
She said her son-in-law said this is not the first-time bugs were found in the food.
Swing assures, “We’re not going to make them eat bugs.”
