JM: How many meals did you get per day? Sarah: 3 Sandra: 3 meals served per day Lyle: Three: breakfast, lunch and dinner
JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why. Sarah: worse then worse Sandra: I thought it was probably nutricious and
acceptable. I didn't dig on the meat very much,
it seemed kinda low rate. But all in all I cant
complain about the munu. It came in some variety
and there were decent deserts from time to time.
But I have had worse Lyle: Terrible food. Bland, tasteless, and often the
same menu all the time. A lot of potatoes, pasta,
and bread and butter at every meal. Rice and
vegetables, sometimes fruit, but often vitamin
supplement "kool-aid" packets were given to mix
with water, in replacement for actual sustenance
or stomach filling meals
JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals? Sarah: canteen Sandra: Anything resembling hamburger was a treat. I
liked the good deserts. I also liked the little
drink mixes which I prefer to the food Lyle: The cakes or desserts were decent, but fattening. I
often traded my snacks for nutritional thing like
fruit or veggies.
JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it? Sarah: canteen you could buy Sandra: Commissary was available. It was also VERY
expensive. I couldn't afford much. It is a lot
cheaper in state prison than it is in county.
The providers of commissary in county are
ripping off the destitute Lyle: There were commissary items available, for example
Ramen noodles, they were a DOLLAR and nineteen
cents, where in the real store, they are ONLY
nineteen cents. The mark up in Waukesha County jail
was huge!
