Meals

Interview with Alex and Javier

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Alex: I received three meals per day.
Javier: Three meals per day. Two hot meals and one cold lunch. Lunch is always a sandwich.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Alex: Most of the food was low in quality.
Javier: Out of a scale of 1-10... Personally, i would rate it a 2. They never use any spices/seasoning and the amounts they give you are ridiculous. Also they never give you real meat.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Alex: I liked what the kitchen crew dubbed as "cat meat"; it ws a sort of ground meat that no one could identify--hence the name. I could not agree with the peanut butter, bologna, and cheese mixture that was often served.
Javier: My favorite was Spicy chicken patty. My least favorite and worst (speaking in behalf of everyone) is macaroni and erasers.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Alex: Diabetic inmates were given extra food outside of meals to keep their blood sugars regulated. Other inmates who had money in their canteens were given the opportunity to buy snacks.
Javier: Yes. You were allowed to order from a canteen list twice a week. It was pretty good for being locked up. You have everything from personal hygiene products, candy bars, sweet snacks, chips, salsa, peanuts, hard candy, and clothes.
