HAMILTON, Ohio (WXIX) - Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones is catching heat for his use of the “warden burger,” which he serves to inmates in isolation.
Jones says it’s not made to taste bad and it’s a common practice across the country.
He says the punishment isn’t in the taste but in having the same thing for every meal for the duration of an inmate’s stay in isolation, which can last up to 10 days.
Jones took bites of the burger during an interview Wednesday night with FOX19.
“I would eat this,” he said. “Hell, I’m eating it now.”
The burger is made of tomato paste, flour, dry milk, oats, beans, ground turkey, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, and “a pinch of salt,” according to the recipe.
Jones says he’s been serving it to inmates in isolation for years and has never been ordered to stop.
“This is jail,” he said. “You don’t get to choose your mommy and your daddy, and your aunt Lily doesn’t get to make your meals. I’m your aunt and your grandpa. I’m the one that gets your meals prepared, makes sure it gets done.”
Jones says inmates get put in isolation for things like fighting, and the burger is added punishment.
“If you get in trouble and you go to an isolation cell, it’s no different than your regular cell,” he said. “And that’s what you get three times a day, and you get all the water you can drink. It’s very nutritious. It’s good for you. It has lots of fiber, and fiber is good for you, right?”
Jones says a dietician approved the recipe.
Asked whether he would eat the burger three times a day, Jones replied, “Yeah. I’m easy to please like that. I come from a generation that you eat whatever’s in front of you.”
Jones says he’s had inmates think twice about acting out because they say they don’t want to eat the burger again.
“And this may be just a little piece that keeps you out of trouble, keeps you from hurting other people,” he said. “That’s my goal here.”
