Lucia: recieved three meals per day.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Trisha: Not horrible. It's not something I would ever buy but it is a 5 on a scale of 1-10.
Jared: The food was terrible. There was no protein ever. Not enough fruit and as needed. It was never on a set schedule always twenty or thirty minutes difference. They had other inmates feed you and they can't talk just work .the inmates are in the kitchens and prep and cook all food.they get all the milk and movies they want.
Lucia: the first week i couldnt eat the food. i also was sick and going through DT's. after that the split pea soup and grilled cheese were my favorites. along with the cake on sunday nights. i believe the third friday of every month was hat we called flying squirell. it was odd, half liked it half didnt. mashed potatos were good.
