The Illinois Department of Corrections plans to save money by offering prison inmates brunch on Sundays.
The Bloomington Pantagraph reports the department plans to serve a combination of breakfast and lunch instead of serving two separate meals.
Corrections Director Tony Godinez told Illinois House members this week the move will save about $2.5 million in the upcoming fiscal year.
Godinez says many inmates already skip breakfast on Sunday and that wastes food and the time of prison kitchen workers.
