Well my mayoer was an ... BUT i feel to attached to my little bugguers so i didnt save him from his life on the surface, LOng story short, he asked stuff i would never be able to make Crystal Glass Item, Slade item come... on...... i had 3 dwarf jailed, one of them is fine and got away after his time, but the 2 remaining had to stay MUCH MUCH longuer......

And... nobodies feeding NOR giving them water... I have about 10 idlers non-Stop all of them have everything off EXEPT feed patient.... yet they dont feed them....

They did feed gave water at least once since i have bucket just at the cage place..... Anybody know a way to *cheat* them out of starvation or dehydratation?

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Forget about them, make the mayor die a horrible and very slow death for what he's done.

No, don't kill him. But if he should coincidentally get into an unfortunate accident...

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

Well, there are a couple of things
-Do you have a pond or well where dwarfs can get the water? I guess so since I can decipher you've given wounded dwarfs water before. In any case, if it's an open hole with water in it, make sure that you've placed a zone with the "i" screen and "Water source" as it's directive.
-MAKE MOAR BUCKETS! Maybe your followers got confused or something. Give them more options and maybe they'll start doing the things they're supposed to do.

A dwarf is a short, bearded, drunk embodiment of Survival of the Fittest, chasing you around and admiring your haunting moos.

assuming you have your prisoners on chains...

make a 1-square stockpile each for booze and for food in the area that the chained dwarf can reach, and set them to take frmo your main supply; a hauler will be along shortly to stock them, and then your inmates can feed themselves.

oh, yeah :)

I recall a thread or two talking about using that and putting nice things in your cells so that the prisoners have plenty of happy thoughts while in jail. :)  keeps them from tantruming or going insane and starting a prison riot.

Yhea it really works to make a food stockpile around your prisoners. In reality prisoners can do anything normal dwarfs do but they are limited in their movement. You might even be able to set up a workshop (one of those 1 tile workshops).

Remember to make the booze stockpile accept ONLY drinks (no lye or dragonfly ichor barrels), NO prepared food; the food one should ONLY accept prepared food so the prisoner is happier!

Of course if they're caged, then it's hopeless... You DO have some nice gold-studded platinum chains for the prison right? ;)
