Potatoes at breakfast and dinner. Everyone was starving. We would wake up in the night hungry because there is precious littl protein served;.

Richard: yes there was commissary, but if youre ordering commissary people mistake you for being rich, because a top ramen soup cost 1.09! dont believe me ask anybody who knows, yes everything on the commissary is priced just like that, Aramark is doing it just so the word can get out thank you.
Victor: Commisary was a profit center. A cup of soda was a dollar. Ramen was almost 2 dollars and this is really cheap weird ramen and it didn't taste right. Snacks were offered at a price unless you were pregnant.
