    Alabama sheriffs feed inmates on $1.75 a day (AP)

    Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely is shown in the jail kitchen as he discusses feeding prisoners on Wednesday, April 9, 2008, in Athens, Ala.  Back in the day of chain gangs, Alabama passed a law that gave sheriffs $1.75 a day to feed each prisoner in their jails, and the sheriffs got to pocket anything that was left over. More than 80 years later, most Alabama counties still operate under this system, with the same $1.75-a-day allowance, and some sheriffs are actually making money on top of their salaries. But exactly how much is something of a mystery because state auditors do not have access to sheriffs' private accounts.
