Meals

Interview with Charlie and Don


JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Charlie: 3.
Don: 3

JM: How would you rate the food?
Charlie: Reasonable, for institutional food. The jailers and other staff regularly eat the same meals that the inmates get while on duty. It will keep you alive but it will also make you fat. The trustees prepare all meals, supervised by civilian personnel.
Don: 1

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Charlie: The civilian kitchen supervisor likes to sometimes serve breakfast items at supper. Cold meals such as sandwiches are never popular, while pancakes usually are.
Don: no

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals?
Charlie: Yes. Inmates can purchase snack items on commissary if they have money on their books.
Don: no
