Interview with mitchell, Stewart, Adam, Jeffrey, Brent and Daryll
JM: How many meals did you get per day? mitchell: 3 Stewart: 3 meals per day but the lunch was the same exact
meal every day, 2 sandwiches Adam: we got five meals a day Jeffrey: 3 meals a day but the lunch was a bag lunch every
day with nasty sandwiches Brent: 3 meals per day but lunch was always a bag lunch Daryll: 3 meals per day but lunch was always a bag lunch
JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why. mitchell: gross sickening especially for the pregnant
girls they don't get enough to eat also diabetics
they basically starve them then they get a snack
which is a pack of crackers and a milk what is
that going to do for a pregnant girl who don't
have money to get canteen Stewart: terrible food, never hot, never any flavor and a
lot of mush with what was not used from the day
before thrown into it. the trays were always
crusted from a lack of a good washing from
previous meals and the way they were transported
from the other jail around the corner in a truck
everything was kind of slopped together like
water from vegetables in the mac and cheese Adam: The meals to me where below average. There is no
way that anyone could get full on the meals. Its
like they want you to depend on commissary to get
full and if you didn't have commissary then you
were s.o.l. they were small and in small
portions. they taste wasn't all that bad though Jeffrey: no real meat except for chicken once a week, it
was a never ending stream of slop. vegatables
boiled all nutrients out of those. every thing
was recycled left overs the portions were way too
small for a grown adult. the food was never hot
and every thing just leaked all over every thing
else Brent: the food was terrible. it was made at the other
jail and then brought to our jail in a truck and
the vegitables were always loaded with water and
of course that got sloshed around and by the time
it got to us it was cold and the trays were never
really clean Daryll: the food was horrible, the hot meals were never
hot because they were prepared in another jail
and then transported over to the main jail and by
the time all that got done and they were brought
to the blocks they were cold and there was no
nutritional value what so ever
JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals? mitchell: nope Stewart: I was actually surprised that the bread pudding
was really good surprisingly because of the
quality of all the other food. I traded a lot of
my food for reading material Adam: they only favorite meal was what they call shit
on a shingle for breakfast. the other breakfast
where just small portion of grits and two spoon
full of eggs with two pieces of toast or oatmeal Jeffrey: the chicken was ok but reaaly there was nothing
really very good on any of the trays and it was
the same meal cycle every 3 to 4 days Brent: I had no favorite meal in there. it was the worst
food ive ever seen, never hot and always some
kind of slop Daryll: I really did not like the food there at all so
most of the food I ate came from the commissary
JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it? mitchell: i told you above Stewart: no snacks outside of the 3 meals per day and
there was commissary but it was quite erxpensive.
I think for a ramen noodle soup which is like .15
cents in wal mart was either .50 or .75 cents on
commisary Adam: commissary was offered and you could order up to
75 dollars in food a week and 100 in personal
hygene and other items, like a radio, dictionarys
and so forth. noodles where 49 cents a piece,
soap was 2 dollars and coffee was 4.25 for a 4 oz
bag of instant coffee. that's all I remember
cause I ordered Jeffrey: no snacks offered and commissary was expensive
and offered nothing but junk food. the only good
things on commissary were peanuts because that
was the only thing with any kind of protein. just
chips and soups that was all the same Brent: there were no snacks offered outside of the meals
and if you did not have money for commissary you
would be really hungry. there was nothing with
any real dietary value on commissary and it was
all over priced Daryll: there were no snacks offered at all. yes there
was commissary but the food on there was all junk
food but it sure tasted better than what they
were serving on the trays and the commissary
prices were very expensive compare to buying the
same items in the store
