Norco Jail Meal Cost Contest: We Have a Winner!

Last week, I challenged you to guess the average cost of a meal at the Northampton County jail. When Director of Corrections Bob Meyers offered to treat the winner to both a meal and tour, I got lots of guesses, from a low of 39 cents to a high of ten bucks.

So what's the actual cost?

According to Meyers, the average cost of the cuisine at Chez Northampton is $1.25. Sometimes, especially when there are lots of leftovers, it does indeed consist of what Meyers calls "food loaf." Meyers claims that, depending on the leftovers, food loaf can be pretty good.

Tastes like chicken!

So who won?

The lucky winner is a reader who calls himself or herself "bs," and came closest with a guess of $1.15.

BS can contact me at BOHare5948@aol.com, so I can let Bob Meyers know he'll be having another guest soon. BS, I will keep your name and other identifying information confidential unless you agree to let me out you.
