Meals

Interview with Bee, Anthony and Clarence

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Bee: 3 small meals. They were cold meals, they didn't give us seasoning except for one pack of salt and pepper, the long things had to be cut up just on case someone in the jail wanted to use it for sexual reasons.
Anthony: you got 3 meals per day they were terrible and small
Clarence: 3, if you want to call them meals.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Bee: A negative 12 because it is already small but then when you first start eating it makes you sick and you better check your food first and make sure that is cooked all the way.
Anthony: on a scale of 1-10 id give it a -3 i wouldnt feed that stuff to my dog but when your in there you have to eat it cause you gotta eat but most people lived off of there commisary cause you were fed sweat meat sandwhichs like 3 days a week and the other 4 days you were fed different forms of slop
Clarence: Somewhere between bad & horrible. Stale bread & just bad tasting lunch meat & food in general. Often the "hot" meals were not hot and the portions are small. There are always guys who want to trade food with you, for example you give them your roll in exchange for potatoes.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Bee: I hated it all!!!
Anthony: they were all terrible there was no favorite it was just which ones werent as bad as the others but there were some you just couldnt eat regardless
Clarence: No, they all were bad. The portions are small in all meals but if I had to pick one meal that was better than the others, I would say dinner because it was somewhat normal - warm & an attempt at decent food.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Bee: The only other snacks was your commissary.
Anthony: yeah you could buy commisary but you could only spend 40 dollars twice a week and commisary was extremly expensive but thats what most of the people in there lived off of dips were king in jail
Clarence: You were able to buy from the commissary on a weekly basis & they mostly offered snack type items. A lot of junk food is consumed in jail, which doesn't help you, but its all the choice you have when you're hungry.
