Meals

Interview with Todd


JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Todd: we got three meals per day

JM: How would you rate the food?
Todd: it was terrible the food was never hot hardly no salt or pepper just bland and you had to wait for the officers to bring your plates to the table and then they would let everybody out of the cells at once so every body would come running out to grab a tray

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Todd: no i didnt like any of it but after a while you just have to accept the fact that you have to eat to survive so pretty much it was a life or death situation there were some thing like chicken and rice where they boiled whole chickens and rice together that was just awful

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals?
Todd: yes if you had money on your books you could make an order once A WEEK to get things like cakes chips juice candy and personal hygeine items
