This is one tasteless budget cut.

To save some taxpayer bread, city jails are cutting back on jelly. Inmates can now only put one ounce on sandwiches, not two.

The Correction Department welshed on its grape jelly portions to match the recently announced reduction in sliced bread — from eight slices to six per day per prisoner. The carb cut is expected to save $1.5 million next year, jail officials say.
