Ive heard people say its horrible but they never say what a meal actually consist of. Well, I wouldn't pay for it. I spent 15 days in jail waiting for a court date on a $50 traffic fine.
The food is bland so everyone can eat it.
It's loaded with starches because that is the cheapest food.
Breakfast 5:30 Am - koolaid type juice, 2 cold pancakes, 2 sausage links
Lunch noon - Sandwich (balogna mostly sometimes peanut butter), koolaid type liquid, 2 slices of bread
Dinner 4:30 or so - milk or koolaid liquid, vegie (corn or green beans), elbow pasta in sauce (no meat) or somedays hamburger, (2in x 2 in) cake I've heard it's mystery meat. So really...it's a mystery. And plain white bread. No butter. In my county-- Leftover hospital food I've heard plain bologna sandwich with a dab of mustard and a very bruised up apple.I think thats lunch,don't know about breakfast or dinner. In jail it is often different from federal prisons. In the jail at my county, they will often eat sandwiches that other inmates make. Usually it is simple lunch meat, ham, bologna, turkey, a cheese, usually american, and mayo on white bread. Its cheap, and easy to make and does not require any utensils which can be dangerous in jail. In prison they usually get more options but I am not sure. My dad works as a sheriff's deputy so he tells me about the food they eat. But you have to remember that it differs from county to county. They eat slop, consisting of dried beans, stale sandwiches, etc. Kayak is right. Its a lot of starches. I had a co-worker who spent a couple of days in jail because she forgot to pay a traffic ticket. I believe breakfast was plain rice and a biscuit. Lunch was bologna or peanut butter sandwich and dinner was some sort of unseasoned roast meat like substance w/ mash potatoes and a veggie. Think of the food you get at a hospital or a school. Institutional food is basically the same, it's prepared according to government guidelines to supply a well balanced diet. Flavor, apparently, is optional but it's nutritionally sound.
