JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Tim: three
Adrian: three
Maria: I was offered three meals a day.
Ashley: WE RECEIVED 3 MEALS A DAY
Lindsay: A total of three meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Victor: Three nasty meals per day.
Deborah: We received three meals a day.
Katherine: I RECIEVED 3 MEALS A DAY

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Tim: The worst
Adrian: you could eat it and live
Maria: The food there was so disgusting it's hard to actually classify it as food. The two meats that are used exclusively are bologna and soy meat. I believe soy meat is like tofu which takes on the flavor of what it's mixed with. Everything was soft, mushy and extremely overcooked.
Ashley: SOME OF IT WAS ALRIGHT BUT MOST OF IT WAS JUST LIKE NOODLES THAT WERE OVERCOOKED AND IT WAS JUST BASICALLY SOMETHING THAT WAS MUSHY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF NOODLE FLAVOR.YES VERY BLAND AND GROSS.IT IS BASICALLY NOODLES EVERYDAY IF ITS NOT NOODLES THEN IT IS RICE AND THAT GETS VERY OLD AFTER A WHILE
Lindsay: It was all carbs. Sometimes it was very delicious, other times it was disgusting. Either way, it was very filling. For breakfast we usually got cinnamon rolls and oranges. For lunch we always got ham sandwiches, and for dinner we always got some pasta dish. If you have diabetes, or you have to eat certain foods, they will make accommodations for you.
Victor: I would rate the food as inhumane even by third world standards. It was often stale, expired or moldy. I could not identify the majority of items served other than to think that it was some sort of canned cat food. The portions were meager at best, not that anyone could stomach more than what was given.
Deborah: Breakfast was usually oatmeal, fruits, bread and eggs. So etimes we would get milk but very rarely mostly juice made in a jug. Lunch was usually left overs from last nights dinner or a sandwich with veggie salad and some cookies. Dinner was like eating hambugar helper a lot, lots of processed foods.
Katherine: WELL THE FOOD WAS TERRIBLE IT HAD NO FLAVOR VERY BLAND.THE WAY I WOULD RATE IT IS A GRADE F . IT JUST WASNT ENOUGH TO GET YOU FULL IT WAS THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER. YOU ONLY GOT ONE SMALL CUP TO DRINK AND IT WAS USALLY WATERED DOWN.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Tim: No
Adrian: tacos was good and the fake coffee made me feel human
Maria: Sometimes a cold salad of lettuce, other vegetables and soy meat was served. This was my favorite because of the vegetables and because the soy meat tasted like ham when mixed in.
Ashley: NO I DIDNT HAVE A FAVORITE ANYTHING IN JAIL.THE FOOD I HATED THE MOST WAS THOSE DAMN NOODLES THEY WRE JUST WAY TOO OVERCOOKED
Lindsay: It depended on what the cook decided to serve us. My favorite was getting the slices of oranges for breakfast a few times a week. It was nice to have something fresh, it made you feel good throughout the day. My least favorite was the Mexican food they gave you. Not big into Mexican and it was way too salty.
Victor: The closest thing to favorite meal was breakfast; once a week were served waffles. The least favorite was a very tiny peanut butter and jelly sandwich with half an ounce of chips and two smaller-than-oreo sized cookies because it was not filling at all. At least I would get fuller when the cat food was served.
Deborah: My favorite meal was always dinner. Because the food was more filling and tasted better. My least favorite was breakfast, I got so tired but of Oatmeal.
Katherine: IF ANY THING WAS GOOD IT WAS THE BEAN BURRITOS BUT THE FLOUR TORTILLA WAS DRYED OUT AND HARD . IT WAS NOT VERY GOOD

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Tim: Not that I recall
Adrian: yes comesary
Maria: Each meal was served with something that was supposed to be a sweet; either cookies or a square of cake. You could take these items into your cell for snaking later or you could purchase snacks from the commissary. Most snacks from the commissary cost $1 each.
Ashley: NO OTHER SNACKS WERE OFFERED UNLESS YOU HAD YOUR OWN COMMISARY OR IF YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE PREGNANT.THE COMMISARY COMPARED TO OTHER JAILS I GUESS IS EXPENSIVE WHICH I THINK THE JAILS PRICES ARE ABOUT THE SAME.
Lindsay: The only other snacks you got were from commissary. It was reasonably priced, but all added up and got expensive. Commissary at CCDC consisted of just snack food, or Coca Cola. I usually got that and bottles of water. I also got Ramen and other things.
Victor: No snacks offered. Commissary was very limited and was extremely expensive. A 20 oz Coke was $4.00, a single serving of Ramen Noodles was $1.25 Dehydrated Coffee, single cup serving was $5.00, Regular size Snickers Candy bar $3.00.
Deborah: Yes outside of meals the pregnant women got sandwhich snack sacks. And commissary was twic a week with lots of limitations. Could even get enough bottled water, which led most of the women to drink form the pipes including myself. The prices in commissary were somewhat expensive. For instance a bottle water for $1.89
Katherine: NO EXTRA SNACKS WERE OFFERED EXCEPT FOR THE PREGENET WOMAN. COMMISSARY I GUESS WAS RESONABLE ON SOMETHING WERE AT THE STORE PRICES. BUT THE ONLY THING ABOUT ORDERING COKE YOU COULD ONLY HAVE THAT IN THE OPEN PODS.
