Article 9 Article 9. Food Sections 1460. - 1467. Many professionals believe the food service program to be a key element in managing minors.
Food is a morale issue in facilities, often a high point for the minors in detention.
Presentation as well as the content and flavor of the meals themselves can impact food's acceptance. Related issues such as greasy trays can have an adverse effect on acceptance. It is important to pay attention to food-related grievances as well as the amount of food being discarded. The county health department conducts an annual inspection of the facility and will address each of the standards in this section. Commissioners are not expected to have detailed knowledge about menus and nutrition.
