Meals

Interview with Jenna and Mel

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Jenna: Three meals.
Mel: I worked on the trustee floor, so 5.

JM: How would you rate the food?
Jenna: Gross!!! But that's where commissary comes in, it's worth it.
Mel: adequate, institutional type food made in big, 50 gallon batches.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Jenna: Hard boiled eggs, bread and butter. Some of the meat was ok, but very little.
Mel: manderin oranges, didn't like the bologna sandwiches in the sack lunches.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals?
Jenna: Nope. You have to buy your own.
Mel: commissary

It was in my opinion unedible except for one pineapple upsidedown cake thing. I gave all of my food to other most eager prisoners except for an occassional apple, orange, piece of bread or a pint of milk (which tasted sour to me). I remember one person saying, "you can't ruin an orange.
