Do you know anyone who cuts meat or did cut meat in a prison?
Permalink  

Back in 1979-1981 I used to work at a small family meat market. One company that delivered meat to us always had met that was headed to San Quentin Prison. It was whole rounds. Not boxed. Shank still attached. Maybe other things too. So obviously there were people cutting meat at San Quentin Prison in the 70s and 80s. Must have been the most trusted prisoners for them to actually be allowed to handle knives. But I'm sure inventory is done before the leave the cutting area.

Anyway, does anyone know anything about this?

I have worked in the industry since 1970. In 1989 I went to work for the NYS Dept. Of Corrections,spent a year working in the mess hall at Green Haven CF, a max jail. We had inmate meat cutters,they would work in a secure room Separate from all other inmates, the knives are secured to the table with cable. Dangerous for the officer, yes, but that's his job.
