Meals

Interview with Tara, Greg and Don

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Tara: breakfast, lunch, dinner. If you had money held in an account you could order a bunch of junk food once a week.
Greg: We got three meals a day
Don: only 3 just the basics

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Tara: the food was highly processed, non nutritional and pre packaged. Nothing was cooked from scratch, and it was awful....and I'm not too picky. PS. If you wanted to take a piece of fruit for later, you would be disciplined for stealing. Special dietary needs were ofere cereal 3 times a day
Greg: The food is really really hard boil the menu is really bad free food was very very sub or basically any sloppy could pretty much throw together but we did have fresh homemade bread and that was very good I eat out of the vending machines credit good sometimes had my family bring me up cheese steaks that I would eat outside at the picnic tables
Don: Maybe a 2 out of ten. First because the inmates are the ones that make the food so you had better try to be friends with the kitchen crew. They do all kinds of nasty shit to you food. And it just taste bad no flavor really dry and seasoning.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Tara: macaroni and cheese with stewed tomatoes,and tacos...hard to mess that up. Breakfast mush was awful. eggs runny and made from powder.
Greg: I didn't have any favorite and least favorite meals there like I said all this food and pretty much was subpar and really suck pretty bad
Don: I didn't mind the French toast but I don't like eggs and they were served a lot at breakfast. And sometimes u got cookies for desert they were good

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Tara: commissary was offered once a week. You made your selections on a piece of paper(order form) and it was delivred to the cell block in big trash bags.it wasnot that expensive, but it was all junk.
Greg: There were many machines that you could get hamburgers and pizza and ice cream and snacks out in vain machines like that so we had Good access the vending machines in decent snack foods that were pretty good
Don: There are a lot of things on commissary but it can be expensive. 6 dollars for a bag of chips and 3 dollars for a candy bar and shampoos and things like that its ok
