ADD Rapelje -a kitchen worked reported to custody staff that he was
ordered to serve cake that had evidence of rodents eaten from it. The
‘Aramark employee allegedly ordered him to cut the sides of the cake off
and serve it to the population. I'm heading into work now to assess the
‘mood of the population and address any sanitation concerns.
