JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Harry: We had three meals a day.
Qtip: 3
Hanna: 3
DoneMyTime: 3
Linda: THREE IF YOU'ER COUNTING THE LUNCH THAT YOU RECEIVE WITH BREAKFAST. YOU EAT BREAKFAST ABOUT 7- 8AM AND THAT'S WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOU COLDCUT SANDWHICH FOR LUNCH.
Missy: 3.
Josh: 3. Breakfast at approximately 6:30 a.m., lunch at approximately noon and dinner at approximately 6:30 p.m. Inamtes regularly engage in trading food from the meals. Beverages tend to be powder mix (like Kool-Aid) to which sink water is added. The lunch meal is always a sandwich.
Alex: Three.
Chrissy: 3 TIMES A DAY

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
Harry: Worse than old school food we used to have to eat.
Qtip: on a scale 1 - 10 maybe a 4 or 5
Hanna: Worse then the worst school cafeteria food you have had. They must have out MSG in the food as well because you got a little dinner and were extremely bloated right after. So Im sure it was added to make the inmates feel full. You were starving at least 30 minutes after you ate!
DoneMyTime: scale 1-5 it would rate a 2
Linda: ON A SCALE 1-5.I'LL HAVE TO GIVE IT A 1.
Missy: TERRIBLE.
Josh: Poor.
Alex: The food was pretty good. A few things served to me were not appealing. However, for the most part, I can only complain that the meals were too small and left me hungry.
Chrissy: BEST OF ALL COUNTIES

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Harry: No, I would eat enough to survive and give the rest away.
Qtip: least- fish fav-chicken
Hanna: The spicy "chicken" was okay, and the cereal in the morning. Those are the two safest things to eat. The fish and the sponge bob cake was absolutely disgusting!
DoneMyTime: no
Linda: COLD CERAL WAS MY FAVORIT.I DISLIKED EVERYTHING ELSE.
Missy: NO.
Josh: Bread.
Alex: My least favorite was the fish. It wasn't so much bad as it was bland. Literally void of flavor. The corn bread served with a few of my dinners was my favorite; it was possibly the best I've had.
Chrissy: LUNCH

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
Harry: Commissary was offered, you fill out a sheet of what snacks you want, then the following week you received the food. This was only available if you had money on your books.
Qtip: whatever u brought on commisary
Hanna: No, if you had a special diet, you got some fruit at lunch and at night. Or if you were pregnant or breast feeding. Other then that you could order food from the store once a week, with a $40.00 limit. That is if you had money on your books.
DoneMyTime: no, you have to purchase on sunday and get items the following week
Linda: STUFF THAT YOU COULD BUY ONCE A WEEK.
Missy: NO ASIDE FROM THE ONES YOU PAY FOR ON COMMESSARIE.
