Meals

Interview with Victor

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Victor: We got 3 meals per day.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Victor: The food was terrible. The portions weren't enough to feed the average 12 year old, much less a grown man. It was only stuff that they felt would quickly patch a growing hole in your stomach: potatoes, bread, beans, etc. A lot of starch mostly, and even then there wasn't very much. they would even fill one slot on the tray with some kind of make-shift salad, which was really a half hand full of wilted lettuce soaked in vinegar. The food was a parody to say the least.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Victor: Meals dealing with any kind of patty (chicken, beef/soy) were usually the best the jail had to offer. Then there were days that they clearly took everything that was served the day before and mixed it in together and called it an entree.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Victor: There was commissary and it was expensive for even the most trivial things you could think of. A bag of food and hygiene items that wouldn't have costed $15 on the street would fetch about $50 to $100 in jail. You had to buy everything. Things like soap had to be purchased.
