Healthy, Gross, and Effective

How do you punish someone who is already in jail? How about if they are already in solitary confinement? Feed them the loaf. Stossel's right (I find that he often is). This is far from cruel and unusual punishment. I think that feeding someone the same bland but nutritious meal over and over again is a great way to bring their behavior back into line. Sure it would be nice if the guards could just deliver an old-fashioned, heavy-clubbed beat-down, but you can't get away with that kind of thing any more.
