Meals

Interview with Wyatt and Erica

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Wyatt: We received three meals per day. Breakfast was a little box of cereal, a pint of milk, a pint of OJ and 2 pieces of bread. Lunch and Dinner varied everyday.
Erica: we got to eat three times per day

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Wyatt: The food was one of the only decent parts of being in jail. The meals were not always big in size, but the taste was pretty good. Breakfast was too small and boring, but the lunches and dinners could be good. It was better or as good as most other prisons I have been in.
Erica: the food was aweful. I had never seen anything like it. I only ate it because I was starving there was just giant wads of meat. and sandwiched with slimy gross meat and a lot of food that looked like something I would feed my dog or cat. it was horrible.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Wyatt: My least favorite meal was breakfast because it was small, and they gave us the same thing everyday. My favorite meal was pizza. We would get 2 round Tonys pizza for lunch or dinner. It was everyones favorite day, pizza day.
Erica: no all the food was disgusting. I could hardly eat any of it and I don't want to think about it

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Wyatt: Yes, you could buy other snacks from commissary once each week. They offered things like ramen noodles, candy, chips, etc. Butler had some of the most expensive commissary I have seen in both County and State prison. For example, ramen noodles were almost a dollar a piece.
Erica: there was commissary it was expensive and I couldn't really afford it. other women got commissary a lot. there were no free snacks unless you were pregnant or diabetic and those snacks were gross too.
