Meals

Interview with Jenna, Mel, Bonnie and Ashley

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Jenna: Three meals.
Mel: I worked on the trustee floor, so 5.
Bonnie: Three.
Ashley: 3

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Jenna: Gross!!! But that's where commissary comes in, it's worth it.
Mel: adequate, institutional type food made in big, 50 gallon batches.
Bonnie: Scale from one to ten.. I give it a negative score.
Ashley: You must remember you are not at a 5 Star resturant. It's FREE food, and you are there because you broke the law, so keeping all that in mind, it's OK.

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.
Bonnie: They were all so terrible I refused to eat but the banana.
Ashley: Breakfast is terrible oatmeal, a piece of bread, and packet to make orange drink or instant milk. Not too good. Lunch is a balony sandwich on cheap wheat bread, piece of fruit (apple or orange) cracker or cookie, pint of milk It's like being back in 4th grade and having a bag-lunch. The milk is cold and fruit was fresh.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Jenna: Nope. You have to buy your own.
Mel: commissary
Bonnie: No.
Ashley: don't know, I didn;t see any
