Once you commit a crime you have to do the time and that is exactly what Iatonda Taylor of Michigan is doing. He is serving a life sentence for killing his brother back in 2006 but the time that he is serving isn’t making him mad it’s what the prison is serving him and other inmates for breakfast. Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility stopped serving waffles for breakfast and is now whipping up a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich for it’s inmates and Taylor is not to pleased with it. So he decided that the only logical way to solve this problem is to sue. You’ve got to be kidding me! Check out the rest of this story after the jump.

So apparently a convicted killer is complaining about what he is eating for breakfast in a maximum security prison. Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility stopped serving inmates waffles for breakfast. How dare they? Well as far as I am concerned you eat what ever you get in prison because you lost the right to eat what ever you want after you are convicted of committing a crime but Taylor does not realize that.
Taylor said the menu substitutions for waffles put Bellamy Creek at risk for a prisoner riot in May, leaving him in risk of injury beyond nutritional deficiency, Although he tried to sue a federal judge dismissed his lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Corrections former food-service provider, Aramark, saying he failed to show his constitutional rights were violated.
Taylor, who was convicted in the 2006 stabbing death of his brother Moise Taylor, said he now lives in constant fear of a riot, according to breaking911.com. He said the near-riot that took place on May 2 resulted in prisoners threatening they would not move unless more waffles were brought to the prison from a nearby store. U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney in Kalamazoo said in his 11-page opinion dismissing the case that Taylor has a right to personal safety but he would have to show some proof that he is in danger. The judge also dismissed a claim that prisoners were deprived of essential nutritious food.
Taylor will be required to pay a $505 filing fee if he decides to appeal. I think this is crazy. Comment below and let us know what you think.
