Cherry: The food was very bad. Some of it was completely inedible. I did not eat for the first 2 days I was there because the food was bad. Not all of it was horrid but I have been in the desert and served food Kuwiatis have prepared and eaten MRE's, this jails food sucked.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Bruce: commissary was expensive, noodles were 75cent a piece. when you have poeple on the streets buying ten packs of noodles for 2dollars so yes the canteen is high, but it is also the only store that we had
Cherry: No snacks were offered. You had to have money put on your account fro a loved one in order to purchase commissary items. I believe that some things were properly priced and fair while others were ridiculously high but when you need something, you will pay it.
