Let Them Eat Cake: A bull from the Northpoint Training Center said in court today that the prison riot at Northpoint in August was sparked not by lockdowns and gangs - as corrections officials have tried to say - but because the food at the prison was crap, and the inmates weren't being given enough crap to eat, The Courier-Journal is reporting

They were being charged through the nose and supposedly there was evidence of high ranking officials with the State Government and Prison system either owning stock or simply being on the payroll of the company providing food from the canteen. Who's committing roberry here? Criminals keeping criminals?
This is the next step in developing our own brand of citizen journalism.
I'm here to report on what I see going on in Louisville, to look for stories wherever and whatever they are, and to get you to help me.
