Meals

Interview with Richard, Dave and Jon

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Richard: Each inmate received three solid meals a day.
Dave: we got 3 meals a day
Jon: Three cold meals.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Richard: I would say that ninety nine point nine percent of the time the food was not good. I never like any of it. I not sure if it has any good nutritional value to be honest. The only way you could eat anything decent is if you have money in your commissary.
Dave: The food quality was actually pretty poor, they served alot of the same things for every meal and it was cold most of the time when it should have been at least warm. They would barely give you enough portions to keep you from starving through the night before you got breakfast
Jon: It was nutritional just enough to live on.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Richard: No there was nothing good about what they served us. I think they just opened up a can of beans and slapped it on a tray sometimes.
Dave: Favorite meals was when they served breakfast burritos in the mornings and least favorite was tuna fish sandwhiches they served
Jon: No.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Richard: I didnt stay long enough to feel the need to get a commissary. But you could get packages of "Ramen noodles", chips, candy, juice, bread and lunch items. You could eat then during normal break hours.
Dave: No snacks that the jail would offer but you could get commissary ordered in every week for pretty resonable priced off the menu. If you didnt have commisary you would basically go hungry because they didnt give any extra food out
Jon: We called our commissary "gas station food". And it was expensive.
