Eva: 3 breakfast is at like 3:30 am lunch around 11and dinner around 5pm also called chow

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Jorge: I rate the food on a scale of sorry to wheres the geniva convention
Laura: Bleh. Bleh, Bleh. Cafeteria food leftovers.
Terry: I used to love bologna, now I don't. We had watery eggs and powdered coffee for breakfast. Bologna for lunch. And for Dinner we got fake meat. I know it is fake from working the food service there, and from working food service for 15 years on the outside. it is all textured vegetable protein so they can conform to religious dietary concerns.
Eva: 1 because they just make up anything I've found plastic in my meat before or the sandwhiches would be old and stale its a lot of rice and beans they served meatloaf before that I still believe to this day was dog food it looked and even smelled lile it. And lunch is the same everyday a meat sandwich and peanutbutter and jelly

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Jorge: nope not a one
Laura: Bologna is definitely everywhere.. don't think I can ever eat it again.
Terry: For the most part it was all terrible. the only exception was oranges. I think that was the only real food we got, and it was a hot commodity.
Eva: Breakfast was the best the sausage and cereal I avsolutly hated the dinner with the rice and beans or noodles with last weeks food mixed in

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Jorge: the only snakcs the an imate would get were the ones the he either bought thru comissary or got from another inmate.
Laura: No snacks offered, but commissary is available to purchase if you have money on your books.
Terry: Yes. You could order food from the commissary if you had money. It was ridiculously expensive. Two dollars for a pack of ramen noodles, a dollar for a fun size bag of chips. It was robbery.
Eva: Only if you bought it comminsary its almost the same price as food on the outside its what everyone looks forward to getting a lot of people only want the cokes because you only get koolaid for a drink
