CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill touts that he runs the toughest jail in the area but some residents might not see it that way.
A company called Outside Inside Connection allows families to send inmates hot, gourmet meals to the Clayton County Jail. Items on the menu include jalapeno burgers, beefy nachos and Philly cheesesteaks.
"They're still human. Why do they have to eat slop," one visitor said when Channel 2's Tom Jones asked her about people thinking the service shouldn't be allowed.

But a former inmate we spoke with said the service isn't always reliable.
"You pay for it you don't get it. They go and tell you they're going to go get it and they never bring it back, said Angel Land.
Land said that has happened to other inmates as well and that it's a risk to use the service.
"Sometimes you get it sometimes you don't," she said.
The meals are prepared at the jail. Inmates can receive the meals only on Fridays.
Sheriff Hill didn't respond to my request for a comment.
His website does say the meals can be with held for disciplinary reasons.
