Meals

Interview with Bill and Rochelle

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Bill: 3 Meals. Breakfast at 5am, Lunch at 11am, and Dinner at 4 to 5pm
Rochelle: 3 breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Bill: Food itself is bearable, however it is very minimal. The jail intends to keep inmates in a constant state of hunger. (This may be a tactic used to increase food sales on commissary. Provided by Keefe, at rates often double to triple their retail equivalents.
Rochelle: Excellent

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Bill: Only offered to sentenced inmates: The lunch meal is 3 sandwiches, 2 mystery-meat (turkey-based bologna) sandwiches and a peanut butter in jelly. Other inmates often favored the peanut butter over the other sandwiches and would trade both bologna sandwiches for a peanut butter one. So it was easy to obtain 4 sandwiches at lunch.
Rochelle: Favorite meal steak, bake potato, and strawberry short cake, least favorite meal lomein dinner.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Bill: Commissary sales products such as: Potato Chips, Meat Sticks, Honey Buns, Roman-Noodle Soups, and almost every candy bar available.
Rochelle: Yes we could buy snack items from the store or snack machine in the dorm
