Meals

Interview with Henry

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Henry: You get three meals a day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Henry: The food gets better the longer you are in the facility. Just because you get accustomed to it and you get progressivly hungrier the whole time your there. They have the same exact menu every week, so you always knew what to expect once you learned the routine and schedule. Some days are better than others, but the food is not good at all. I grew to like it after a while, but that was just because it kept me alive. I wouldn't feed those trays to my dog out here.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Henry: It's pretty hard to remember at this point. I usually didn't like breakfast any days because it was always either bland runny oatmel or grits. I think my favorite meal was either the fish sandwiches that they serve for lunch on Thursdays or the hot dogs they served for dinner on Wednesday nights.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Henry: There was no other food outside the three meals a day unless you ordered snacks on commissary. The commissary only really consisted of mostly hygeine items and stuff like that. The only food they really had on there was junk food. The only real options for food on commissary was chips, candy bars, or snack cakes that were way overpriced. I usually didn't order much food off the commissary, just hygeine items and stamps. They make a lot of money overcharging on items in that facility I would guess.
