Meals

Interview with Tim, Sherri and Brett

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Tim: Three meals on the weekdays, two on the weekends.
Sherri: 3 but I rarely ate them bc I was scared to
Brett: I ate all three had to to survive

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Tim: On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a one. The food tasted horrible, the rations were very small, the bread was stale, flies everywhere, mostly unflavored pork with egg noodles, food was under cooked, and we had five minutes to eat. Also, insects were found in the food on several occasions.
Sherri: Poorly. If you could tell what it was that was a major plus. I tried to get something off commissary but I was also trying to watch how much money mom and dad sent in for me. I felt bad enough for putting them in that position that they shouldn't be in.
Brett: Gross I had what looked like a pupic hair in what they called mashed potatoes and the portions was so small your body would be wating for that next meal stomach growling standing at the door like a lab rat waiting for a small portion of cheese just enough to keep you from starving

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Tim: Least favorite meal was the pork noodles. If I had to have a favorite meal, it would be the one I made myself out of my own locker that consisted of ramen noodles, re fried beans, and potato chips.
Sherri: Chicken fingers. U could tell they were frozen from Ben e keith. The meat dish was least favorite. I could never tell what it was at all.
Brett: I favored the breakfast I like biscuit and grave and there's wasn't good but I like them more than the other meals

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Tim: We had an 85 dollar spending limit. The policy at the prison was to run commissary twice a month, but of course they would do whatever they wanted, so we would often go months without it. Items offered were Ramen noodles, bags of chips, powered milk, instant beans, instant rice, oatmeal, coffee, and soda with some condiments.
Sherri: Commissary more expensive there than any place else bc it is ran an railroaded by one guy. A cookie pack of off brand cookies were $3 and a Coke 20 oz bottle was $3.25 ?
Brett: Commissary was very expensive one pack of noodles were one dollar when there like 10 cent a piece on the outside and no snacks not even on the holidays I was there on 4 th july and prayed they'd have a extra snack or something special but no
