Meals

Interview with Luis and Scott

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Luis: We got a breakfast and dinner tray and two sandwiches at lunch.
Scott: you were given two hot meals an a cold lunch

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Luis: The food was pretty terrible usually. Surprisingly some of the guards would eat the crap. We had water to drink but at dinner they gave us koolaid which I would stay away from because of the aspartame content. The butter was mainly hydrogenated soy bean oil which I also tried to stay away from.
Scott: on the average the food was fairly decent considering how much was needed to make i would say it was your average cafeteria style fare with a lot of imagination thrown in sometimes there were some things that you werent able to eat but mostly if you were hungry yo would eat it

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Luis: I liked the chicken fried steak but I don't know what it was made of. On Fridays we got pancakes which were halfway decent.
Scott: burrito day was good and the cake deserts were good and always there was the pancakes but the pizza dish was fairly decent but most of all was the once a month roast beef that was the best

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Luis: I don't recall any other snacks. My parents put 200 dollars on my books but it lasted on 2 weeks. The main thing people got in commissary was coffee. People bet for it and some people snorted it.
Scott: sure you could snack all day long as long as you had money but if you had no money you had no snacks and the commissary was very expensive a top ramen noodle cost you a dollar and a 4 ounce bag of coffee was over 6 bucks
