Inmates Sue for Dental Floss

Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 18 October 2012 8:16 AM

Give me liberty or give me dental floss! The Sun Sentinel says more inmates are suing the state for access to something non-prisoners take for granted: dental floss. Four men have now filed civil suits in Florida, demanding access to the staple of oral hygiene. But the sheriff isn’t budging. As he said told the Sentinel: “I don’t care if they file 400 suits, they’re not getting it, this isn’t the Ritz-Carlton.” He also offered up some advice for the incarcerated who are worried about their dental hygiene: “Don’t go to jail.”
