Sunday, July 22, 2007Prisoners at the Metro Toronto West Detention Centre are each granted $11.02 a day for food. Hospital patients don't receive as much -- at St. Michael's the budget for a patient's food is $8.07 a day, for hospitals in the University Health Network it is $6.50 a day, and at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre it is $7. The public relations department at The Hospital for Sick Children refused to disclose how much is spent for a patient's food, which is budgeted by individual hospitals. Stewart McGetrick, with the ministry of public safety and correctional services, says jails need the $11.02 a day per prisoner to meet the nutritional standards set by the province. Check out the menus: HOSPITAL - Tomato soup - Grilled cheese sandwich - Raw vegetables - Fruit - Milk JAIL - 60 grams of hot sliced roast beef - 200 ml of potato salad - 250 ml of spinach salad - Two slices of bread with margarine - A piece of fruit - A beverage Better to be in prison than in the hospital. posted by Sydney on 7/22/2007 06:38:00 PM 1 comments 1 Comments:
