My policyholder operated food service in many jails and prisons around the country.

We got lots of lawsuits filed pro se by prisoners, usually complaining that they didn’t get salt packets with their meals, that the vegetarian meals just omitted the meat the other inmates got, that the halal meals were the same as the kosher meals, that they didn’t like the sandwich meat, and other trivialities.

The pro se suits were usually dismissed by the court. These nuisance claims still cost plenty in defense costs.
