Meals

Interview with Adam

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Adam: 3, just barely enough in quantity to keep you alive. The oatmeal was not fit for human consumption, it was horse feed, and labeled on each and every package "Not Fit For Human Consumption". Edible, but if that's the label on it, don't feed it to anyone even if they are prisoners. That among other things I thought was complete bullshit, and if the average tax payer knew about half of what their taxes paid for just in prisonsl taxes alone they would be up in arms for change.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Adam: As hypocritical as this is going to sound, the oatmeal was ok tasting especially if you added jelly/peanut butter and sugar to it. The chicken quarters once a month was the best (people sold their chicken or gambled it away regularly), the pizza was like in school, the burgers were fairly good and people would sell or gamble that as well.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Adam: Oatmeal if there was jelly/peanut butter and sugar to add to it. Chicken quartes and burgers were my preference over everything else.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Adam: We had a commissary. The prices for some things like Ramen noodles were cheaper than at a regular store outside of prison and other things had a 10%-80% mark-up. They ran out of things regularly or if they were low on something most everybody wanted they would mark those items up even more than usual. Your pod only had 1 day to shop, after the outher pods did their shopping then you could shop kore upto twice a week and was allowed to spend no kore than $50 per week total.
