Meals

Interview with Allyson and Eric

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Allyson: Three.
Eric: you only get three meals a day

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Allyson: Overall it wasn't that bad. I gained 40 lbs, and I had only $20 for the whole time I was there on my books to buy extra snacks. Candy bars off commissary cost $2 so $20 doesn't go a long way.
Eric: It takes a few days to get your stomache adjusted to that stuff. but you know you have to eat so each day u eat a little more until your eating whole trays. and then personally for me once I reach that point I become hungry and the three meals is enough just to survive

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Allyson: They used real potatoes, which was good. I ate more than I should have. Good cookies, good cakes. The coffee was horrible, so you had to buy your own off commissary. The Kool Aid was horrible. They have hard boiled eggs, and pancakes weren't that bad either. They use no pork in their meat so a lot of their sausage and meat was tasteless.
Eric: no I did favor the biscuits and gravy in the morning time for breakfast. sometimes dinner was good the spaghetti

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Allyson: On Christmas they gave us popcorn, Kool Aid and pop from the pastor. The inmates made holidays nice in my mod. Everyone chipped in on the mod and we made a feast with jail recipes. It was one of the most authentic and real Christmas's I have ever had.
Eric: only on the commissary and it was ok but I heard the food is better and cheaper in the state prison. but they had instant noodles to pop tarts to pork skins to tuna and chicken and beef crumble tortilla shells for burritos or nachos
