JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Albert: 3
Borata: 0, until I started screaming terrorists to to the top of my lungs and got smart with these sheisty biyattchhhhhssss!!!!!! What else can I lose?
Keith: 2 bagged meals and 1 hot meal a day. Breakfast and lunch were bag meals, usually hard boiled eggs and a single serving of cereal for breakfast, a bologna sandwich and chips for lunch, and a hot meal at dinner which is usually unidentifiable.
Jon: Three meals a day. I know breakfast was at 4:30am, lunch I think was around noon, and I think dinner was around 6. Again, no concept of the time.
Innocent17: Breakfast. Cereal, milk, packet of peanut butter, packet of jelly and two slices of wheat bread, two cookies and a fruit. lunch. packet of peanut butter, packet of jelly and two slices of wheat bread, two cookies and a fruit. fake juice. dinner. two powdered beef burritos OR packet of peanut butter, packet of jelly and two slices of wheat bread, two cookies and a fruit. fake juice OR substitute the PBJ with bologna. I don't think I can eat another PBJ sandwich for a long long time.
Acer: 3.
Taz: 3
Will: We had breakfast lunch and dinner
James: you get 3 meals per day

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Albert: 2 STARS OUT OF 10
Borata: muy BIEN. Over my dead cadavre!
Keith: Poor.
Jon: It was far from good. Two slices of bread, jelly, peanut butter, an apple, a type of "juice" and two cookies. Some variation on this.
Innocent17: bad to awful.
Acer: Nastyas f*k..ate spread and store all day
Taz: Not bad but I was a trustee
Will: The food there reminded me of elementary school food, just in bigger portions to feed the average sized adult male. It mostly consisted of beans, bread, canned meat. Basically anything that can be made the cheapest and quickest, for a very large population. The meals always had to had the right amount of nutrition
James: the food was very bad. it taste horrible I can tell it wasn't that good for us to consume probably compared to fast food. the portions were also very small so hunger was an issue with all inmates. certain inmates couldn't eat meat so they were given "special diets" which were vegetarion.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Albert: FOOD IS FOOD I GUESS.
Borata: cream of sum yung gai!
Keith: It was all my least favorite meal.
Jon: It was all about the same, not a lot of food, nothing I had tasted very good.
Innocent17: Burritos were okay. Cereal was okay. Cookies were good. Apples were great when they were fresh.
Acer: The best is the fakeass sausages in the morning
Taz: Hamburgers
Will: My favorite meal was this roasted chicken that reminded me of el pollo loco. My least favorite was their beef stragonoff
James: I have no favorite meals in jail. the least favorite would mean that I liked one thing more than the other and I didn't like no part of the food.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Albert: YES, COMISSARY FOR ASTRONOMICAL PRICES.
Borata: gummi bears
Keith: No. Unless you have money on your books to buy commissary, you were hungry most of the time.
Jon: No.
Acer: In jail its super expensive soups are 1.18 while in prison its 36 cents.. shits ridiculous.. now I kno y all the homeys r stingy in jail
Taz: n/a
Will: Commissary offered a lot of variety of your typical junk food from chips to snack mixes. The most popular were soup packets. Soup packets were about a dollar while only thirty cents at your neighborhood market
James: no snacks whatsoever what you were given for breakfast, lunch and dinner was it. the commissary is ridiculously over priced. for something like a top roman noodles that would normally cost about 10 to 20 cents is priced at $ 1.18
