Oh, the cruelty! To save money on the city budget, inmates will now have to survive on just one ounce of grape jelly a day, down from two. The Post reports that the jelly reduction will save $1.5 million next year. But what of the poor prisoners, forced to ration one measly ounce of jelly between eightsix slices of bread a day! To make matters worse, it seems like grape jelly is the only option in city prisons. We're sure criminals would think twice if they knew they'd be rotting in prison with no marmalade.
