Brad: 3 meals were served per day very small

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Nelson: It was like hospital food. Not a whole lot of seasoning. It wasn't all that healthy. It wasn't the worst but it wasn't a well balanced diet. Portions weren't always would they should have been.
Chris: Nasty -100 not even sure what half of it was. I dont think the cooks cared what was in it and the meat was not even meat it was so rubbery and you could not swallow it without your throuat hurting. YOu had to close your eyes and pretend it was something else
Brad: The food was very bad it is rated by an expert and had to carry a state minimum of 1400 calories to meet state requirements so.the meals are all very high in carbs mostly noodles and bread and potatoes stuff that is cheap and higher in.calories it is.so.crazy theu do.ith though

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Nelson: Some of the chicken was not all the way cooked. Unless the meats. They wake you up at 3 or 4 in the am for breakfast.
Chris: None were ok. I would not want to eat any of the meat because it was so gross. It had some saudce on it always
Brad: My favorite meal was tuna because.it was packed with protein and not a.lot of peoppe ate theirs.. more for me

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Nelson: No, no snacks.

Brad: There were no others offered the commisary was offered oonce every 2 weeks and comsisted of candy and sweets that didnt last very long but it was used mostly as currency for contraband and gambling
