The guard at the Townsville prison made the discovery when he sat down to eat dessert Saturday night. Advertisement Trusted prisoners have cooked food for prison officers both as part of their rehabilitation, as well as a cost-saving plan for the Department of Corrective Services. But the Melbourne Herald says some convicts have confessed that food often contains saliva and urine, while plates are rubbed on prisoners' genitals. On Monday, Premier Peter Beattie said the practice may need to be reviewed. "It would be a brave guard that would eat the food prepared by some of the prisoners," he told reporters on the state election campaign trail in Mackay. A corrective services spokesperson said the organization was not yet aware of any prison officers taking legal action against the department for food contamination.
