Meals

Interview with Ivan and Bobby

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Ivan: We received three meals per day.
Bobby: 3 were given to you but if you had commissary money them you can eat all you want

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Ivan: I would rate the food with a very bad status because it was usually very undercooked, and I often became nauseous when I ate it. Some of the food was fully cooked but it was cold by the time we received it. My favorite meal was breakfast when we had cold cereal.
Bobby: It was fine I didn't expect much from jail food. It was like school cafeteria food on a scale one through ten I would give a 5. Atleast I was being Feed is how I look at it all in all food was food I wasn't hungry all the time I was feed and wasn't starved

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Ivan: My favorite meal was breakfast with cold cereal because I didn't like it when a lot of the other meals were undercooked or they were cold when they were served long after they were cooked.
Bobby: All of them I hated. I wanted home cooked meals no frozen cheap shit. That was cold all the time

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Ivan: The only snacks offered outside of meals was commissary. Some facilities were more expensive than others. I liked peanut butter because it was cheap, I could buy a lot of it, it filled me up, and it contained the proper nutrition I needed to stay muscular.
Bobby: If you has money in commissary money you were set. You could get soups, cookies, chips, candys, anything you want you can have besides meats and shit that's when you get into prison you can make big food Orders like that
