Interview with Ryan, Alex, George, Diana and Maria
JM: How many meals did you get per day? Ryan: THREE Alex: We were served three meals a day. George: 3 Diana: You get three meals a day Maria: We got three meals a day.
JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why. Ryan: FAIR Alex: On a scale of 1-10 I would rank it a solid 3. Breakfast at 4:30 am-
milk (1 pint) cold cereal, 2 hard boiled eggs and a roll or bread-
sometimes oatmeal. Lunch at 9:30 am- lunchmeat sandwich chips
or cookie, fruit. Dinner at 5 pm, usually varied but it was always
warm- like spaghetti or meatballs with noodles- always came with
a vegetable bread and powdered juice. George: 2OUT OF10 Diana: Gross I can't even rate it there ain't nothing good about jail
food it's jail food no seaoning no flavor not real meat at all it's
not cooked right it smells gross I couldn't take one bite without
gaging it's not a good taste to have in your mouth high! Maria: It was pretty bad at the Pierce County Jail. Once a
week, we had commissary, which provided us with all
sorts of goodies, from candy bars and soda pop to
beauty items, such as hair stuff, like gels and
such. You know, though, I think breakfast was the
best meal.
JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals? Ryan: BREAKFAST WAS GOOD Alex: Nope all tasted the same. George: COLD CERAL WAS OK Diana: I didn't like anting about jail food it was gross like dog food I
wouldn't recommended it it's very disgusting Maria: I sure did! I LOVED French Toast with peanut
butter. I'd never had it before, you see, and so I
was on a tear.
JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it? Ryan: YES, YOU COULD BUY STORE Alex: Yes they had a good size commissary list. George: IF YOU HAD MONEY ON YOUR ACCONT Diana: Yes commissary was very expensive. Like twice street price
plus generic product not good quality. But it'll keep you from
being hungry so it'll do plus jail food sucks so you'll need extra
food to get threw Maria: Oh, yea! There were all sorts of goodies you
could
order from commissary: candy bars, soda pops, etc.
But it was spendy!
Really spendy. In fact, commissary became a sort
of
bartering tool that folks would use.
