Interview with mitchell, Stewart, Adam, Jeffrey, Brent and Daryll

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
mitchell: 3
Stewart: 3 meals per day but the lunch was the same exact meal every day, 2 sandwiches
Adam: we got five meals a day
Jeffrey: 3 meals a day but the lunch was a bag lunch every day with nasty sandwiches
Brent: 3 meals per day but lunch was always a bag lunch
Daryll: 3 meals per day but lunch was always a bag lunch

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
mitchell: gross sickening especially for the pregnant girls they don't get enough to eat also diabetics they basically starve them then they get a snack which is a pack of crackers and a milk what is that going to do for a pregnant girl who don't have money to get canteen
Stewart: terrible food, never hot, never any flavor and a lot of mush with what was not used from the day before thrown into it. the trays were always crusted from a lack of a good washing from previous meals and the way they were transported from the other jail around the corner in a truck everything was kind of slopped together like water from vegetables in the mac and cheese
Adam: The meals to me where below average. There is no way that anyone could get full on the meals. Its like they want you to depend on commissary to get full and if you didn't have commissary then you were s.o.l. they were small and in small portions. they taste wasn't all that bad though
Jeffrey: no real meat except for chicken once a week, it was a never ending stream of slop. vegatables boiled all nutrients out of those. every thing was recycled left overs the portions were way too small for a grown adult. the food was never hot and every thing just leaked all over every thing else
Brent: the food was terrible. it was made at the other jail and then brought to our jail in a truck and the vegitables were always loaded with water and of course that got sloshed around and by the time it got to us it was cold and the trays were never really clean
Daryll: the food was horrible, the hot meals were never hot because they were prepared in another jail and then transported over to the main jail and by the time all that got done and they were brought to the blocks they were cold and there was no nutritional value what so ever

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
mitchell: nope
Stewart: I was actually surprised that the bread pudding was really good surprisingly because of the quality of all the other food. I traded a lot of my food for reading material
Adam: they only favorite meal was what they call shit on a shingle for breakfast. the other breakfast where just small portion of grits and two spoon full of eggs with two pieces of toast or oatmeal
Jeffrey: the chicken was ok but reaaly there was nothing really very good on any of the trays and it was the same meal cycle every 3 to 4 days
Brent: I had no favorite meal in there. it was the worst food ive ever seen, never hot and always some kind of slop
Daryll: I really did not like the food there at all so most of the food I ate came from the commissary

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
mitchell: i told you above
Stewart: no snacks outside of the 3 meals per day and there was commissary but it was quite erxpensive. I think for a ramen noodle soup which is like .15 cents in wal mart was either .50 or .75 cents on commisary
Adam: commissary was offered and you could order up to 75 dollars in food a week and 100 in personal hygene and other items, like a radio, dictionarys and so forth. noodles where 49 cents a piece, soap was 2 dollars and coffee was 4.25 for a 4 oz bag of instant coffee. that's all I remember cause I ordered
Jeffrey: no snacks offered and commissary was expensive and offered nothing but junk food. the only good things on commissary were peanuts because that was the only thing with any kind of protein. just chips and soups that was all the same
Brent: there were no snacks offered outside of the meals and if you did not have money for commissary you would be really hungry. there was nothing with any real dietary value on commissary and it was all over priced
Daryll: there were no snacks offered at all. yes there was commissary but the food on there was all junk food but it sure tasted better than what they were serving on the trays and the commissary prices were very expensive compare to buying the same items in the store
