The fact that nursing homes are the same way makes me mad. Our elders deserve healthy foods and not the same meal every day

The best thing to do is stay out of prison.

These are actually the more high quality meals served. Most of the meals are inedible slop. These make prison food look somewhat decent.

Moral of the story, don't go to prison.

The reason they use aspartame and not sugar is because if they give the inmates real sugar they can use it to make prison alcohol.

I was in jail for 10 days. The best meal by far was breakfast. The problem was that the fluorescent lighting was turned off at 3 am and breakfast was served between 4 and 5 am and nobody woke me up so I couldn't get to it. Breakfast had real milk, orange juice and occasionally an egg - real protein. The other meals were toxic glop. It was an interesting experience.

It ain't supposed to be a Holiday Inn.

[dave]

literally shows a meal 2 with whole eggs - "hardly any protein :(" . What do you want them to give you a 50g protein shake?

Why does the prison food looks much better than the school lunch....😅

Prison food in america looks more decent than the prison food served in Singapore

We once got 5 cherrios and a half cup of milk. No coffee there. We went insane it was a horrible meal. Never happened again. They said it was a kitchen issue. Normally we got kind of this but no toast and those lil packets of powder for the juice we did get normal veggies. Meat they lack on but all jail have veggies.

I am retired. That is my normal day - in fact better. You got two eggs? I got one and the beans- no cornbread: just rice. That was my day. Plus water, water, water. Prison looking good. Rent is more than my social security. I was forced into retirement. Lost about 20 lbs so far.

These guys still eat better than a lot of non-inmates...

[terrywilliams]

Don't be a criminal and you can stay home and eat healthy.

[DrewSorensenMusic]

Rice and beans is a complete protein.
Peas and green beans have lots of vitamins.
Beans have fiber.
The amount of food presented in this video is quite enough to sustain a health human body.

I’m a kidney transplant patient and was on dialysis as a child. These meals they show here are pretty much the same they serve in hospitals.

I did 2 years at MacDougall in south Carolina And the food you Get half the time isn't fit for humans. if it hadn't been for the inmate Cooks it would have been a lot worse. I'm telling you those guys work miracles with the stuff there given.

When I was in Jail the only people who got Bologna was the booking area cells they had that at every meal But I was assigned to sleep in the Jails Hospital area where I would have daily visits by the Social Worker and a Doctor they pretty much fed me whatever I might eat in the real world but we were not allowed Silverware was all because inmates liked to turn them into weapons A Guard told me at the day I was put into the Hospital area he said Kelly look I know Jail sucks but look at it like this its food and shelter so u never have to worry how u will eat or sleep and U dont have to pay rent monthly that guy sure knew how to make me feel good even in Jail wasnt that nice having him talk to me I had a Panic attack on the night I got there but after having that Guard talk to me I seemed to calm down and my time went by fast
