And ketchup, mustard, artificial sweetener, mayonnaise, and jelly. Forcing inmates to buy those items from the commissary (or forgo them altogether) will save $150,000, apparently. (Doing away with pickles alone nets $83K.) Valdez is going to have to figure out where to make other cuts; she’s only identified $2.3 million of the $6 to $7 million needed. My idea? Sponsorships. Something like this, maybe, except for prison jumpsuits.
