JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Christian: the food sucks big dick it has no taste water downed small portions aramark ands more water than what the recipe calls for to make a little bit of shit go further the save money that way which translate to more profits for them they even add water to the margerine then whip it up in a mixer to make it go further
Chris: The food was very poor depending where you were if you were in a holding cell you got a sand which of some nasty green meat and a eight ounce drink that was it.At queens gate we received mystery meat and some sort of out dated veggie and unsweetened tea.
Robert: we basically had the same thing every day it was some type of sandwich and a fruit and a different drink everyday I kept all my fruits an drinks but gave most of my sandwichs away because they were nasty tasting, but ate my fruits to get nutrtion for me
Terry: the food was very terrible and in very small portions. The jail workers ate better than most of the inmates unless they were buddy buddy with them. I think school lunches were better and you received more. Even if you didnt like it you had to eat it or go hungry. That is the way it was
Diana: The food was okay. It wasn't great at all but it wasn't completely horrible. With a one being horrible and a ten being great id rate it a four. The first 20 days i was there i barely ate anything at all and lost weight, but most people gain weight which is weird to me. I ate the food from commissary though.
Gina: Very poor you where didn't get real meat they would serve the same things milk once a week and that was one per cent you got bread with every meal pasta once a day beans once a day they put away of filler in the food you didn't get veg but 3 times a week
Cindy: the food is hoirrible. the only meal i could ever eat is the breakfast. the other ,eals are so nasty there is no taste to the food at all it is runny and they serve you nasty beans at every meal. i lived on the bread and the break fast

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Christian: all the food sucks how do you pick a favorite piece of shit shit is shit period but what other choice do you have
Chris: No there were all really bad that's how they get you to buy commissary. Its all about getting your money.
Robert: the fruits were fine but the sandwichs were nasty and the drink servings were very small, no side dishes sucked
Terry: Not in there. Eating half the stuff in there you sometimes could not I identify it. You didnt know if it was real beef or something they pulled off of the road it was that bad.
Diana: I liked the desserts . They were always good . I never found anything wrong with the desserts. Especially the cookies.
Gina: The pancakes where the best the cat food was the worth it would be ground up stuff so u could put it on bread that no one eats
Cindy: t6he break fast is really the only meal i would even bother eating and it wasnt that great it at least would have taste

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Christian: commisarry you can get chips pretzels cheeze its candy coffee koolaid it is expensive about twice the amount you would pay in a regular store on the streets just another way for the jail systen to make money
Chris: No snacks were ever given. The commicary was very high ramen noodles on the street are five for a dollar in here it was eighty five cents for one noodle soda was like two dollars a piece.
Robert: some guys did have snacks built up and guarded them , they were like chips , but I didn't ask about them to much, I guess they earned them or bought them on the side
Terry: No snacks were ever offered. I Personally did not get commissary but others did and they did complain that things were so over priced, like Romane noodles were 75 per pack. Peanut butter 4 dollars per jar.
Diana: I liked the pop tarts and grandmas cookies the best from the commissary order. The commissary wasn't that expensive. I cant remember exactly how much it was but i know it wasn't that bad of prices.
Gina: No there was no snack and comissany wasn't to bad the price where a little high on something's but you would order and your slip would get listed or they wouldn't come or they would miss stuff on your list
Cindy: you could buy stuff if you have money but it is not cheap you pay 50 to 60 cents for a little debbie cake that should be a 25. and any other things are just as exensive
