Meals

Interview with Alex, Javier and Kyle

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Alex: I received three meals per day.
Javier: Three meals per day. Two hot meals and one cold lunch. Lunch is always a sandwich.
Kyle: You get 3 meals a day

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Alex: Most of the food was low in quality.
Javier: Out of a scale of 1-10... Personally, i would rate it a 2. They never use any spices/seasoning and the amounts they give you are ridiculous. Also they never give you real meat.
Kyle: I rate the food a 1 and that's 1 is for the juice served with breakfast but other then that it was horrible. Most food needed salt and non was added the rice would be hard and lunch was a peanut butter sandwich no jelly with a very small cup of water

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Alex: I liked what the kitchen crew dubbed as "cat meat"; it ws a sort of ground meat that no one could identify--hence the name. I could not agree with the peanut butter, bologna, and cheese mixture that was often served.
Javier: My favorite was Spicy chicken patty. My least favorite and worst (speaking in behalf of everyone) is macaroni and erasers.
Kyle: No favorite at all but the least favorite was that hard nasty rice plus it had no salt at all

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Alex: Diabetic inmates were given extra food outside of meals to keep their blood sugars regulated. Other inmates who had money in their canteens were given the opportunity to buy snacks.
Javier: Yes. You were allowed to order from a canteen list twice a week. It was pretty good for being locked up. You have everything from personal hygiene products, candy bars, sweet snacks, chips, salsa, peanuts, hard candy, and clothes.
Kyle: You could have lil cookies and pies they would be kind of expensive since snacks were like a leisure but if u had no money then you was out of luck its just is what it is
