    Should inmates be allowed to follow dentists' recommendations and floss daily?

    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A Florida sheriff said jail inmates will not be supplied with dental floss, despite four lawsuits filed by inmates.

    Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said he will not give in on the issue, despite four lawsuits from inmates who want floss to be available in the jail commissary and are seeking damages for "pain and suffering," the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Thursday.

    "I don't care if they file 400 suits, they're not getting it," Bradshaw said. "You're not the mayor. This isn't the Ritz-Carlton."

    Bradshaw said dental floss is not allowed in the jail because it can be easily turned into a weapon or a rope.

    "We're not going to give them something that could easily be turned into something else," he said.

    The sheriff's point is valid, but he should look for a compromise to get safe floss available. I was thinking of those little floss plastic thing with the pointed pick removed.

    What do they do about toothbrushes which are the prime tool for making a shank. I know they don't have spray deodorant but stick is a good substitute.

    You can blow off a lawsuit, but if it wins in court you cannot just blow off a judicial order or you might be joining the inmates in their demand from jail.
