Ohio prisons may invite food service inspections

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s prisons agency is developing plans to invite local health inspections of each prison’s food service operations in the wake of complaints about problems including maggots in kitchen areas, a corrections spokeswoman said Friday.

Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said work on the plans began Thursday. Asked about the timing and details of the inspections, she said the plans are still being finalized.
