Interview with Cyle, Caesar, Liz and Samuel

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Cyle: 2, a partially microwaved sausage biscuit and a 99cent microwave dinner.
Caesar: 3
Liz: 3. breakfast at 4am, lunch at 10:30am, dinner at 4pm.
Samuel: 3

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Cyle: Absolutely terrible. The officers clearly did not care how well we ate.
Caesar: horrible
Liz: 2-4, the men cook it...its definately not appetizing and everything is as fake as it gets.
Samuel: Poor

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Cyle: No.
Caesar: They were all bad. Some less than other, but bad nonetheless. I heard some stories about cockroaches on the food, by people that worked in the kitchen.
Liz: my favorite meals were pancakes and peanut butter for bf, beans and cornbread with a cookie lunch, and spicy breaded patties with bread and a brownie dinner. The least favorite was everything else they served.
Samuel: Everyone loves waffles and pb but the milk was my favorite part of the meal

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Cyle: No.
Caesar: Commissary offered Soups (ramen type) and chips. Commisary came on Tuesday and Friday. You had to put in your order by Sunday for Tuesday's and by Wednesday for Friday's commisary.
Liz: no, unless you buy commisary
Samuel: Wide variety on commissary

The inmates recieve 3 meals a day, no more and no less. The portion are all given out equally for fairness...no extras. Another company is contracted to bring in the food and the trusties help prepare the food to be delivered to the inmates. The trusties are also responsible for the cleanliness of the kitchen, utensils, tools used, etc. If their are complaints of "roaches" or how sanitary your food is...give a special thanks to your trusty peers. The officers are not responsible for preparing or delivering the food. Infact, the officers don't even touch the food. They just have to make sure that the inmates all get their fair share....that's it.
