LISBON, Ohio -- The sheriff in northeastern Ohio's Columbiana County is fuming about plans for an inmate pizza party during the Ohio State-Michigan football game.

"A jail is a jail," Sheriff David Smith told The Youngstown Vindicator.

The sheriff initially thought there was no pizza party, when the newspaper asked him about it.

The newspaper said it obtained a copy of a notice from the jail warden to the inmates. It said each will get three slices of pizza in addition to their regular meals on game day, Nov. 18, as a way to show support for the Buckeyes.

When the paper showed Smith the notice about the party, Smith said, "There will be no party."

But Smith said he isn't sure he can do much about it, because the jail is run privately by a Massachusetts company.

The notice said in return for their treat, inmates must keep the noise down during the big game and keep their cells tidy. It also said they must stop "horseplay and childish games" and "help us to help you to have an easy time while you're here."

"This program will continue, periodically if the rules are followed and it appears to make a better stay for you," the notice said, according to the paper.

Sheriff Smith said he plans to have a talk with the warden next week.
