Everything and anything is up for grabs to eat in prison – including the mice.
Disturbing footage has emerged of two inmates in an unknown prison eating a live mouse and recording the incident on a phone.
The mouse is sneaked in on a piece of paper through the prison bars and handed to one of the inmates with tattoos on his arms and neck.
Two inmates ate a live mouse and the disturbing footage was caught on a phone, which is illegal to have in all state and federal prisons in the US
After the inmate shook and licked the mouse, he bit off the rodents head while it was still alive
The inmate now holding the mouse then shakes it, licks it and after a few moments, bites off its head.
The mouse-eating inmate then stares into the camera with a crazed look on his face and the mouse’s head still in his mouth.
But the inmates must live by the motto waste not, want not because the next second, another inmate is seen with the lower half of the rat’s now limp body.
The lower half of the mouse’s body was then given to a second inmate to eat
The video, doesn’t show him putting the mouse’s body into his mouth but after it shows the inmate who ate the mouse’s head, we can see him slowly chewing on something – presumably the mouse.
Cell phones are prohibited in all state and federal prisons in the United States but that clearly does not prevent inmates from successfully sneaking them in.
Some are sold to the inmates by prison guards, according to WKRG.
But many are thrown over prison walls, with the drop times ironically being coordinated through texts or calls between inmates and people on the outside.
Prisoners have used smuggled phones for numerous reasons from recording rat videos to keeping track of their drug trade and threatening senators.

In 2008 inmate Richard Tabler called Sen. John Whitmire and told him he knew the names of the legislator’s daughters and where they lived.
Five years later, the FCC recommended implementing technology that would prevent inmates from making cell phone calls.
Some correctional facilities have implemented radio-based technologies to detect and block the use of smuggled wireless devices located inside their facilities, according to the FCC but it still remains a widespread problem in prisons.
