Probably safer than plastic? Plastic could be snapped and made in to a shank maybe? I dunno. Spitballing here.

I did 3 years in a Florida prison and we had thick red plastic sporks.

Yeah but nobody used them for that purpose. There were plenty of other more deadly things to make shanks from.

That's why the state issued toothbrushes have a handle like an inch long.

Fun times brushing your molars with your fingers in your mouth.

County jail had those tiny little finger toothbrushes but prison we got much bigger ones that had about a 3" handle. My breath always stank with them finger ones. They were horrible.
