Interview with nelson and Amy

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
nelson: 3
Amy: 3 per day like clockwork

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
nelson: an 8 by jail standards.
Amy: Poor, breakfast 5:30 am usually oatmeal, a piece of bread with a dollop of peanut butter, canned fruit and milk, Once a week there was cold scrambled eggs. Lunch 2 Bologna sandwiches every day with milk and a apple orange or banana, 3 days a week there was a hodgepodge soup as well that was comprised of leftovers in the kitchen. Dinner mac n cheese with hot dogs or beans and rice with a tortilla, once a week chicken on the bone, once a week a veggie patty, all dinners were served with a coleslaw salad or iceberg undresses salad, a pudding or boxed cake square and a milk. Pretty gross. Also all vegetables were canned or frozen besides the salads.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
nelson: no.
Amy: I preferred the peanut butter and jelly given only once a week for lunch and the chicken on the bone for dinner with mash potatoes. I never drank the milk usually it was warm.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
nelson: no.
Amy: No snack outside of meals the commissary is all candies and cookies, chips, high salt and sugar foods, some tuna and pre packages things like rice and mac and cheese. It was about the same price you would find in stores but nothing healthy to chooses from.
