Interview with Mickey, Nate, Anne, Ryan, Erik and Chris
JM: How many meals did you get per day? Mickey: 3 Nate: 3 Anne: 3 Ryan: 3 Erik: 3 meals Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Chris: You were given 3 meals per day.
JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why. Mickey: 0 out of 1-100 scale Nate: 3 out of 10. 10 being the highest. Anne: Substandard lifeless nutrition deprived depressed
pig slop Ryan: 3 out of 5. for jail food Erik: Over time I believe the food has gotten better,
but thats not saying much. Breakfast consists of a
rotation of biscuts w/ gravey (so they call it),
gritts, corn flakes and sometimes eggs and
potatos. Luch is usually bologna and bread, "Ham
salad" aka cat food or sometimes a random hot
lunch item (Had hot dogs and beans last time I was
in. Dinners are usually hot and include items like
goolash, spaghetti, burger patties and stuff like
that. The food always gets to me. I tend not to be
a picky eater but I find myself having to force
down the food for the first few days. Portions are
small, which forces you to avoid turning anything
down. Once a month they will have special meals
like buritos and even cakes and pies. The biggest
thing you take away from the menue is that
seasoning is almost never taken into account. Chris: The food in jail sucks. First there is not enough
of it. What there is of it is very bland. The
potatoes that you are given say right no the box
"Not for Human Consumption" if that tells you
anything. x x x x x x x x x x x
JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals? Mickey: Favorite would be any cold cereal, least favorite
is what the inmates call, "catfood," it is the
left over scraps of bologna, spam, turkey and
whatever else mixed up with mayonaise and some
other stuff, served with cheap white bread. Nate: I liked to cookies and juice. Anne: I think bologna is one of the WORST things you
can put in your body Ryan: meatloaf Erik: With a little help from commisary items for adding
some decent flavor to the meals, certin items are
beter then others but I didnt take away any extreme
memories of good meals while locked up. Chris: My least favorite meal was a lunch when they served
a cold sandwich that everybody called cat food. I
still ate it thogh.
JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it? Mickey: Off of commissary. Nate: No. Anne: No Ryan: commissary only Erik: Commisary is like a survival tool in the ADC.
Coffee and saltines alowed me to get whatever I
wanted on trade. A full commisary list is
available and with a little help from the outside
having certin items can make life at least that
much more bearable. If you have a loved one looked
up, sign up on line and get them a order placed
ASAP. Commisary is only ordered once a week so
waiting for that day can be hard. Items like good
soap, shampoo and shower shoes may seem like
simple things on the outside, but having them
inside can change everything. Chris: There were no snacks offered outside of meals.
Commissary was once per week and it was priced
fairly I think. You just better hope they don't
call a lock down when it is being passed out because
you wqn't get it until the next week.
