Grocery store prices have soared in 2022 due to inflation that hit a 40-year-high earlier this year.According to Richland Source, Richland County commissioners were not surprised when they were told the price of meals at the county jail and Community Alternative Center will rise 8.6 percent in 2023. Commissioners unanimously approved the renewal of the final year of a contract with Trinity Services Group, a Florida-based company whose website says is the largest contractor in the country dedicated to the corrections industry.
