"Basically, it's baked slop," Dickens explained as he picked at a hunk of nutraloaf during a prison interview. He's is no stranger to the quasi-palatable concoction also known as an "alternative meal plan" or "behavior modified meal." He holds the dubious distinction of being on a loaf diet for longer than any other Delaware inmate. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
