Meals

Interview with Jorge, Jeannette and Larry

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Jorge: Three.
Jeannette: 3 bfast lunch and dinnwe
Larry: You were served three meals a day.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Jorge: Zero. It was pretty bad. For instance they served mashed potatoes every day. They were never fully mashed, it was like someone had just stepped on them. They were also watered down. Everything was bland, no seasonings, no nutritional value at all.
Jeannette: on a scale of 1-10 1 being the crappiest thig you could thing off and 10 being like eating a 5 star italian resterant in italy right on the water with all natural ingredients home made with cheese that just melts in your mouth, i would give prison food a -600000 i wouldnt feed it to my dog
Larry: The food was basically enough to keep you alive I suppose. It tasted horrible and was always over cooked or burned and had no seasoning or flavor to it. Often times people would go without eating untill they absolutely had to to prevent from becoming malnourished or sick. It was terrible.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Jorge: There was one meal absolutely nobody ever ate. I can't really tell you what it was, but it looked like the grease off of taco meat, with maybe a little meat and rice in it.
Jeannette: i hateed all of the food i ate there i was so sick from it i decided to nevere eat it again
Larry: Actually I have to say that our thanksgiving meal was pretty decent but that was brought in by the church.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Jorge: No. On special occasions church people would come in and pass out little things but the jail never provided snacks. You could buy them off commissary.
Jeannette: commissaary was offered it was relitivly expensive but i wasnt in there for commissary days so i never ordered anything fro m it you caould also buy clothes abd bras, god only having 1 bra sucks ass
Larry: Yes, on the commissary order form there was actually quite a lot. There was anything from potatoe chips to beef jerkey, pop, candy bars and a lot of other foods like peanut butter and jelly or Ramon noodles. But it was about twice the price as you'd pay in a grocery store.
