Sausages linked to crime
I couldn’t help it.

HOBBS, N.M. - Some Lea County inmates set fires and broke toilets and windows after being told they would be allowed only one sausage at dinner. Jail officials said the inmates began yelling and banging on their doors in what they described in a news release as a “temper tantrum.”
Officers from the Lea County Sheriff’s and Hobbs Police departments were called in to restore control, and the jail was locked down after Tuesday night’s incident.
Some 33 prisoners were involved, Warden Jann Gartman said.
Obviously, a large amount of the prison population aren’t Jimmy Dean fans:
The remaining 300-plus prisoners at the jail accepted the meal without incident, authorities said.
UPDATE (Paul): At least they didn’t demand 50 eggs.
Bet they were all jacketed….
