LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — The comfort food Lancaster County Prison inmates are whipping up in their cells is giving the warden indigestion.
The seasoned dish, called chi chi, isn’t the problem.
The problem is that some inmates toss the wrappers containing ingredients and the trash bags used in making the dish into the toilet instead of their trash cans.
Getting inmates to properly dispose of trash instead of flushing it down the toilet is an ongoing problem at the prison. The county has spent about $200,000 over the last couple years on possible remedies.
Trash must be separated from the flow of waste because it can foul the city’s sewer system.
