At Alcatraz the prisoners ate VERY well because the smart guards understood that a well-fed prison population is a much calmer, more well-behaved prison population. It was a buffet style where the prisoners got to eat as much as they wanted, and all of the entrees were restaurant quality and homemade from scratch. The guards ate the same food as the prisoners.
@@jamesmassingale Obviously you are ignorant and cannot read well. The idea is to keep prisoners calm. And decent food helps to do that. This is a proven fact. Nobody said anything about "meals for a king", either for the guards or the prisoners. Learn to read. And more importantly, to comprehend.
that and greens with literal sand/dirt/rocks in it. commissary can be pretty good if you do it right and they actually let you go get it.. they will deny you for having stubble on your face and then you have to wait 2-6 weeks to go again lol
I'm from Michigan's U.P. and I ate a Jean Kay's pasty my first day out on parole: crust made with actual lard, ground beef, diced potatoes, carrots onions and rutabagies. With Heinz ketchup. I dreamed about those things when I was locked up. One pasty has about 2000 calories.
For a guy that's never been there, this is really helpful. Makes me appreciate my freedom to choose the food I want to eat. Really worthwhile watch. Thanks!
You don’t know what it feels like to starve until you’re eating these trays without commissary. These photos are definitely taken by guards, I didn’t get 50% of the size of these servings. Being locked up, sucks.
It's crazy how hungry I got in jail. I mean, I was just laying around not doing shit all day not burning any calories really, yet I was constantly fucking starving. I think that instant coffee made me even hungrier. I usually had commissary (thankfully it came 3 times a week, Mon Wed & Fri) but I'd smash that shit so quick, it would be gone in like a day and a half.
Try eating nothing for 5 months while being kept alive on IVs. THAT is starving. The first time I got solid food after that nightmare, I inhaled that pathetic hospital burger with NOTHING on it or anything else on the tray and sent my mom out to buy me two more from the cafeteria. I ate those in record time too. When you still think after 20 years that first hospital burger is the BEST burger you have ever eaten in your life.... well you know you were starved.
I did 120 days county I didn't even know what I was eating. Turkey w all the fixings on Thanksgiving and we got Christmas gifts a few ramen, chap stick, deodorant, pen and a couple stamped envelope. I admit I curled up and cried
My school literally told me our food comes from the same place as prison food and we are not "prisoners" and supposedley lots of money is invested into education but the "healthy" movement just made food worse.
It's just bulk cafeteria food. It really is the same. We use to get it from Aramark at the prison I was at around here. They also have a HUGE farm with lots of veggies & stuff growing to offset costs. Aramark also provided the food to the in-patient rehab place I went to some years later. And they provide food to all sorts of places. The main difference is going to be how it's prepared and cooked. Prison gets as little extras as possible. No garnish. Gotta buy your own condiments half the time. And cooked as blandly as possible. V's everywhere else, where taste is somewhat important. It isn't in prison. Being edible is what's important. Lol
I was in High School during the peak of the Obama administration. Literally the food served in the cafeteria was basically the same as Prison food (The school as well felt like a prison). For this reason, I always brought my own food or ate out.
@@diablocls55 same, except my school took it to a whole new level...we weren't allowed outside food (as in parents bringing you food at lunch time and even food you brought from home if "it looked too good", administrators would actually throw your shit in the trash.) because no one was eating the actual cafeteria food and the school was losing money. I'm so glad I graduated that ghetto shithole on time....because the school during your senior year was known for trying to actively fail you so you'd have to repeat a year.
I worked at a meat packing place here in East Tennessee called Travis Meats. Actually, the same meat that is sent to schools are also sent to prisons. I'm sure the schools get more experienced cooks and larger portions along with a dietitian planning their meals.

Another Dish known to me as the "El Pobre Hombre" translated from Spanish into "The Poor Man" is basically Frito Corn Chips, A cup of Pinto Beans, Two slices of Bimbo Bread and a cup of canned corn with butter and Tapatio hot sauce on it. No meat, all Vegetarian.
I've been locked up 3 times in 3 different countries across europe, but I was lucky with the food every time. Some would serve seconds, and freshly cooked food as well. I remember this one meal in Croatia, mash and duck, it was better than my mom would make it.
Retired Sargeant in O.DO.C. Every day at noon, in my facility, was gas and grass (beans and greens). Dinners were actually good surprisingly. Brown bologna (shit slice) gave everyone acid reflex.
Never been in prison, but I was in the Army, and uncle Sam has a similar philosophy on food. So I learned to like a lot of food that I wouldn't have eaten before. And I said about the same thing you did, "I can either eat this, or I can just be hungry". Also found out early on that according to the Army, gravy is a meat.
very true. brings back memories of Fort Hood field chow. Worse field chow had to be at Camp Swift. Me and my battles would literally stash MREs in our assault pack and id stash em in my med bag. Sad that sometimes the field chow is so bad fellow joes and myself would rather eat MREs.
I remember when I was in Iraq as a contractor closing up bases. The main chow halls were closing and then leaving. We had very limited meals. I told myself to eat whatever they give you. I never knew one day from the next, whether I may not have food for a day or two. Whatever is there, eat it. Make sure you stay hydrated. That was two simple lessons.
At least in America prisoners can eat 3 times a day. In some southamerican countries you're lucky if you can eat some rice with a fried banana and some soup once a day.
Australia looks wealthier than USA, we have the largest average house size in the world by country, we have excellent food because we don't believe the idiotic crap South Americans believe.
I was in county for my time. Worse thing was our mystery meat. It looked like a giant ball of dryer lint. It was GREY. Being hungry you try to eat but I couldn't. I managed one bite and yeah it really reminded me of dryer lint. Our version of at the end of the week food we had 7 day stew. It was literally everything we had through the week mixed together. We had to empty our trays in a can liner and I'm sure that's what they used.
Plus once your in there long enough and get hungry you'll eat multiple trays...I ate it until I got my commissary and than there would be certain things I'd eat...but the place I was in had that nasty soy meat it was horrible
Yeah, people tear up that food like it really is hitting. First day of 9th grade they had some pizza that tasted like good delivery....after about 3 days they had the usual nasty pizza.
Honestly where I live primary school food was like this but middle school food I actually started eating school food and high school was greg you had like 10 options everyday about 5 changed daily and the others were always available it was pretty good tbh
I drove a guy home in an Uber the other day and the subject of jail came up. He had served some time and I quote him saying. “I would rather be dead than go back to jail.” This video justified that statement even more so.
Corporations make money off of prisoners. So don’t think that they don’t want people going to jail. That’s why they don’t try to set you up to not go back. They do everything to make sure you end up back in.
cop out...most people who end up back in jail have only one person to blame..themselves. if we didnt have so many folks who return to jail time after time those profiting from the whole jail thing would have to find other jobs.
When we had the dry "state cake" at CCC (Chillicothe Corrections Center) in Missouri, we would dump our cherry, orange, or grape kool-aid on it. Made it moist and added flavor.
@@kevinfernandes1882 lol....ewwww! We could buy beef jerky on canteen. When I was in processing, the first breakfast I had that had cubed, cooked meat, I thought was ham. I love ham. I sporked a few chunks, put it in my mouth, chewed once, and spit it out! It wasn't ham! I was like what the hell is that?! Spam. It was spam. 🤢🤢
When I was at FMC Lexington (feds), they served us prime rib, baked potato, dinner roll and ice cream on Memorial Day. I ate very well for the 3 months I was there. I feel bad for the guys in the state that have to eat the food in this video.
The Texas prison systems are pretty self sufficient. Some units have slaughter houses, some make the clothes, some the cheap ass state soap, etc. So (in my experience) we didn’t eat poorly in TDC. The pancakes we had every morning were fucking awful though. So bad that I can’t eat em in the free world no more.
The only days they fed us semi decent was on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. We'd get fried chickens on those instances, which led to brawls with dudes fighting over breasts and drumsticks.
Sup Joe! I’m a US Navy veteran & for the most part prison & the military have lots in common!! Food, living conditions, bed supplies, all that. It feels great to be a free man & not owe the country anything. Now I’m a 24 year old disabled veteran trying to find me way in the civi life. This Corona thing has limited some progress in my goals that I had set but being free beats everything!!
I don't know kid. I been locked up and I'm a naval vet. Jail ain't beating the nacho line or a made to order breakfast burrito on the ship. As many eggs as you want.
I just got out at the beginning of the year and its not going how I planned but im happy I have gi bill and disability. I'm so happy to be free as well. Good luck friend!
Ashley Polk hell yeah same! I went to school fall semester bc I got out last summer but it was difficult bc my seizures were happening frequent at the time so I had to learn to live with it & adapt to civi life. I’m glad I have these benefits so I can finally start a family get a home & go to school. I still don’t know what I wanna be but I’m getting there. Now I am 8 months seizure free. I’m ready to go back to school & grow in life
20:22 "Where is the cheese at though?" It's right there on the burger bro. First you thought the crushed pineapples that came with the pizza were cabbage, now you can't see the cheese. Seems like ol' Joe needs an eye exam.
This is by far my favorite APS video, and I've seen almost all of them. Most of these are probably jail trays or trays for when the Governor was visiting.
I've been locked up in three different facilities in Michigan. Flint Michigan food isn't bad but it's not good. The best place to have Chow is Sandusky Michigan is the Sanilac County Corrections. In the absolute worst place to be locked up is Livingston County in Howell Michigan I cannot stand going to Howell but Sandusky Michigan is by far the best facility I have been in
funfact: schools get their lunches from the same providers that prisons get their food from. so when you think about it, youre basically preparing yourself for prison.
the ironic thing is my old high school was supposed to be a prison but the state didn't have funds for it to be finished so they turned it into a high school you could even see the fences with razor wire were they were building the fences my old high school is Mingo Central Comprehensive High school in case you want to search up a photo of it or something
At the facility I was in the,”Chicken and gravy” meal was called Shank by the inmates. Because after you ate it it felt like someone was shanking you up from the inside.
Joe, I did 6 years in Kentucky. All at once. The jails and prisons in the state usually contract with a provider. If not, the inmates are the ones who prepare and serve the food. In Louisville, where I am from, an outside provider supervises while inmates prepare their approved menu. It's the same way in the state prison system. Their provider is Aramark. Aramark was a main reason the 2009 Northpoint riot happened. I was not at Northpoint, but got into the system just after it happened. I talked to several guys who said Aramark was doing things to add to tension already present. As for food, Aramark use a set menu. It is comprised of a breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have something similar to "Fresh Favorites" at certain prisons. They cook certain things using their logistics and material and charge inmates for it. Things like real hamburgers and fries. On a given day, breakfast usually consists of grits/cream of wheat/farina, 2% milk, a dry biscuit. Sometimes they had 2-3 pancakes. Also a soy or turkey sausage that was horrible. They had a rolling menu for lunch and dinner. They had this crap called KC Cheesesteak. We called it Kentucky Corrections Cheesesteak. It was not steak. Aramark used a lot of mechanically separated chicken or pink slime in their menu. I submitted an open records request to Aramark and the DOC asking to know what was in our food. I was told I didn't have a right to know this under the law. Some of the meals we had were decent, just usually not enough of a portion size. We had nachos made out of MSC, 5-10 doritos or tortilla chips, watery cheese sauce, rice, beans, and state cake. For desserts, they would fluctuate between cookies, state cake, brownies. They also had decent soup. Grilled sandwiches were a favorite. They started giving us mystery meat hamburgers, but we had tater tots. Those things sold like hotcakes if you could get some from the guys in the kitchen. We had hot dogs, but they were disgusting. And we had sloppy joes and a barbeque sloppy joe type thing with bread. Very rarely got buns. The worst was when you went to court or somewhere off site. You got a sandwich, chips, and a water or juice type thing. As for drinks, it was either water, some nasty juice kool aid type thing that would literally stain the tables, or tea. I usually drank tea. Food was critical. Like you said. Eat it or you will starve. Thanks for doing this video.
@@erichauck5747 it's in a lot of stuff. Textured vegetable protein is also. The problem I had was it was the meat or protein basis for a lot of meals. And they reused it. And the warnings on the Tyson box. For me, it wasn't about knowing the ingredients, I wanted to have Aramark put it in writing. I worked in the kitchen and saw the boxes and labels.
I never did time but it did work for the boc for 30 years and we had a staff side chow hall. I will give credit where credit is due those men who cooked in the staff side chow hall were excellent cooks.They were all in the culinary school and they did a great job and took pride in their cooking.Much respect to them
I was so poor that prisonfood looks like champagne and caviar.Even rats started to throw breadcrumbs at me feeling sorry that I didn't have food as a kid.
Sounds like youve been through something like the great depression :( the only time when killing someone to go to prison might be worth it if they still kept serving food like this video.
When I was a senior in high school we went to a place called Stringtown for some sort of "scared straight" thing.. I went cause it was a free day from class lol. Other than the fucking horrific stories of prison rapes and violence, the lunch we had with them is the thing I remember the most.. It was the craziest shit I had ever seen. I traded mine to a dude that was one our "tour guides" for a bag of chips from the commissary. My dude told me, as I slid the tray over I was passing up one of the best meals they get.. Fuck🤦♂️
@@revoltoff I perceived it to be a brick of shit with shitty gravy, some rough ass cake and a "steamed" vegetable smush. My man who took the tray said it was Salisbury Steak, and they only get maybe once every couple months... He followed it with "Son, at least it's not loaf night or the chicken al a fucking king shit. That shit looks like and smells like warm Bolo (that's a cheap, shitty dog food)."
Hey Joe, not chuck wagon nor chicken fried steak !! In Ohio we call this the county patty. Lunch trays at this level 2 prison called Noble correctional institution, 1 day you got a chicken patty, 1 day you get country patty, 1 day brakepad patty, fiah patty on Fridays, then Saturdays a big salad with a boil egg, and some cut up strips of sweat meat on top. This is the luch summer menu tho, in the winter they change it up and give you different types of lunch and dinners. Breakfast is the same each week, it would be different things thought the week for 7 days but each week it repeated. Thanks for the video Joe. Stay blessed 🙏 & stay woke out there Brody!!
i has locked up in wayne county PA prison and they fed us double cheeseburgers tator tots on the reg , cold cereal with milk and fruit they fed us quite well true story
All of this looks better than anything I ate when I was hospitalized at the VA in 2017...SMH Not saying that inmates should be eating crap, but not BETTER than a disabled veteran who's in the VA hospital for a service-connected condition.
THIS IS THE KINDA STUFF we wanna see Joe, Respect man you finally get it. Now we need some updates on some ppl man. And we need new people as well man come on bossman Joe!
TBH, I come from a poor family. I’m not poor now and I eat good but honestly, I could revert and go back to eating anything. I am really not hard to please. I would eat all that prison food.
Right? That looks just as good, or even better than some of the meals I've had in the past. They aren't great meals but they really don't look that bad either.
I've never been to prison. I've never been to jail. I have, however, served on county grand jury twice. When you serve on grand jury they give you a tour of the county jail in order to give you an idea of where you might be helping to send someone. You are given a tour of the kitchen as well. You are also provided a meal, the same one given to the inmates. The first tour I tasted the food in order to be polite. Tasted it. The second time I didn't touch it. One female juror actually got sick just looking at it.
i was in a british colombian remand in vancouver that was the bomb. alberta ham steaks.. steamed veggies etc .then i went to oakalla which was condemned.
Hey! I was a cook in the navy for 4years. Our food was pretty good! At least at the places I was stationed in San Diego. (Naval Amphibious Base, USS Dixon, USS Ajax and RTC Orlando)
I worked briefly as a C.O. at a state work release. The kitchen manager was an incredible cook. The homemade yeast rolls they made were better than any restaurant. The fried chicken was off the hook. On chicken days we had to monitor inmates to keep them from going through the line twice. They actually sold their chicken to other inmates. The kitchen was ran with more efficiecy than most restaurants. I guess with prison food it's all luck of the draw.
Dickson TN, the meat slicer broke and it took them 2 weeks! To get a new one. We got PB and paper bread , 1/4 bag of hard no salt potato chips. For dinner, every day at 5:30-6 pm....hungry as a MF by 5:30 am for breakfast. Question? How you F peanut butter up? Nastiest PB on the planet. You got 2 hots and paperbag dinner🫣
I actually knew people like that when i was younger. They were homeless and needed somewhere to stay during the winter, so they'd do a small crime get sentenced to a couple months in jail then be out after winter.
I met a guy like that when I was in County. He drank until he pickled his brain. He sat in the sunny patch on the floor by the payphone most mornings and talked to the Angels.
I did time at Dillwyn in Va State. 4th of. July; thanksgiving and Christmas was halfway decent. Usually, I traded the sweet breakfast trays and desserts for boiled eggs

Northampton Massachusetts, Hampshire county jail has a culinary program for prerelease. We were there test subjects!! The food was outstanding!!! Ice cream cake for dessert!!
On one hand there's a part of me that thinks prison food _should_ be rough, it's part of the deal and if you don't want lousy food then don't go to prison. But I think at the end of the day a society is only as good as how it treats the people at the bottom, the ones who -- as a result of their own choices or not -- are no longer fending for themselves and are in that society's care. I think when you take away someone's freedom and therefore their ability to provide for themself, justified though it may be, you're taking responsibility for that person from that point forward. And how that person thinks of you when they leave, and your sense of justice and fairness and their desire to work with you and play by your rules going forward, I think may have something to do with how you treat them when you're holding the keys.
I understand your logic. I see both sides. I think that food should be decent. I also think that depending on your crime(s) should depend on your treatment
I will say imo I partially agree with you. Murders, rapists, child molesters etc hardened criminals SHOULD absolutely eat that shit. On the other hand people that commit petty crimes or less serious offenses should be eating more "normal" food. If I went to prison I'd straight starve to death. 🤢🤢🤮🤮
Your ignorant. Not everyone in prison is guilty - even if they were deemed that by a jury. It's people like you that say stuff like this, and then end up going to jail, and end up holding someone's pocket for protection.
I rember the tails my son told me about prison food. He said they served alot of johnny sacks where the meat was spoiled. Only on special holidays he said was decent food. Texas prisons ....
I got stuck at a small town housing,we ate these hot pocket style sticks for 3weeks. BLD. The dudes that had been there for longer said they were happy to get the H pockets. Before that it was cold corn dogs.

I remember when I was in Iraq as a contractor closing up bases. The main chow halls were closing and then leaving. We had very limited meals. I told myself to eat whatever they give you. I never knew one day from the next, whether I may not have food for a day or two. Whatever is there, eat it. Make sure you stay hydrated. That was two simple lessons.
What was the worst meal you ate in Iraq?
Yeah. I ate alot of terrible shit in Afghanistan too. I didn't complain about. It was energy. For free. Like these complaining prison channels.

At least in America prisoners can eat 3 times a day. In some southamerican countries you're lucky if you can eat some rice with a fried banana and some soup once a day.
Maybe, no be a shit hole. Just a thought, no pressure poncho
In Australia we get 4-5 star restaurant meals and everyone gets their favourite delicacies. America looks like a shithole country to us
Australia looks wealthier than USA, we have the largest average house size in the world by country, we have excellent food because we don't believe the idiotic crap South Americans believe.

I was in county for my time. Worse thing was our mystery meat. It looked like a giant ball of dryer lint. It was GREY. Being hungry you try to eat but I couldn't. I managed one bite and yeah it really reminded me of dryer lint. Our version of at the end of the week food we had 7 day stew. It was literally everything we had through the week mixed together. We had to empty our trays in a can liner and I'm sure that's what they used.
Considering I've been so poor I'd go days at a time without eating id scarf it down just saying
Plus once your in there long enough and get hungry you'll eat multiple trays...I ate it until I got my commissary and than there would be certain things I'd eat...but the place I was in had that nasty soy meat it was horrible

Corporations make money off of prisoners. So don’t think that they don’t want people going to jail. That’s why they don’t try to set you up to not go back. They do everything to make sure you end up back in.
Slavery has always been a multi billion dollar business,even in Ancient Rome. Multi Billions in Gold and Silver.
cop out...most people who end up back in jail have only one person to blame..themselves. if we didnt have so many folks who return to jail time after time those profiting from the whole jail thing would have to find other jobs.

When we had the dry "state cake" at CCC (Chillicothe Corrections Center) in Missouri, we would dump our cherry, orange, or grape kool-aid on it. Made it moist and added flavor.
We'd break ours up into our cereal. Actually made it decent.

I ate very well for the 3 months I was there. I feel bad for the guys in the state that have to eat the food in this video.
This one trick to get better food food in prison...... commit higher crimes
The Texas prison systems are pretty self sufficient. Some units have slaughter houses, some make the clothes, some the cheap ass state soap, etc. So (in my experience) we didn’t eat poorly in TDC. The pancakes we had every morning were fucking awful though. So bad that I can’t eat em in the free world no more.
Chris Torres how about that green ass soy milk in the morning that literally not a single person would drink
The only days they fed us semi decent was on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. We'd get fried chickens on those instances, which led to brawls with dudes fighting over breasts and drumsticks.
I was in the county and we were getting similar shit to what y’all was eating in the feds
Sup Joe! I’m a US Navy veteran & for the most part prison & the military have lots in common!! Food, living conditions, bed supplies, all that. It feels great to be a free man & not owe the country anything. Now I’m a 24 year old disabled veteran trying to find me way in the civi life. This Corona thing has limited some progress in my goals that I had set but being free beats everything!!
I don't know kid. I been locked up and I'm a naval vet. Jail ain't beating the nacho line or a made to order breakfast burrito on the ship. As many eggs as you want.
I just got out at the beginning of the year and its not going how I planned but im happy I have gi bill and disability. I'm so happy to be free as well. Good luck friend!
Disabled veteran? Oh come on. Unless you were hit by an IED on a navy security detail, you are just playing the VA.

First you thought the crushed pineapples that came with the pizza were cabbage, now you can't see the cheese. Seems like ol' Joe needs an eye exam.
This is by far my favorite APS video, and I've seen almost all of them. Most of these are probably jail trays or trays for when the Governor was visiting.
That hamburger tray is waaaay too nice.

I've been locked up in three different facilities in Michigan. Flint Michigan food isn't bad but it's not good. The best place to have Chow is Sandusky Michigan is the Sanilac County Corrections. In the absolute worst place to be locked up is Livingston County in Howell Michigan I cannot stand going to Howell but Sandusky Michigan is by far the best facility I have been in
The worst would be Wayne County Jails in Detroit. Livingston County is considered nancies. Not nearly as bad.
funfact: schools get their lunches from the same providers that prisons get their food from. so when you think about it, youre basically preparing yourself for prison.
Really I didn't know that I remember school food be good and I never did Time in prison or county jail
No prison food is definitely on a different level. I would eat every tray if it was school food.
Sounds made up bro
That's true! ARAMARK serves jail, factories and schools
the ironic thing is my old high school was supposed to be a prison but the state didn't have funds for it to be finished so they turned it into a high school you could even see the fences with razor wire were they were building the fences my old high school is Mingo Central Comprehensive High school in case you want to search up a photo of it or something

I'm here doing a 12 night shift (I'm 1 hour in) and I forgot my food at home. These foods look great now lol Keep up the great content 😎👍
Joe, I did 6 years in Kentucky. All at once. The jails and prisons in the state usually contract with a provider. If not, the inmates are the ones who prepare and serve the food. In Louisville, where I am from, an outside provider supervises while inmates prepare their approved menu. It's the same way in the state prison system. Their provider is Aramark. Aramark was a main reason the 2009 Northpoint riot happened. I was not at Northpoint, but got into the system just after it happened. I talked to several guys who said Aramark was doing things to add to tension already present.
As for food, Aramark use a set menu. It is comprised of a breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have something similar to "Fresh Favorites" at certain prisons. They cook certain things using their logistics and material and charge inmates for it. Things like real hamburgers and fries. On a given day, breakfast usually consists of grits/cream of wheat/farina, 2% milk, a dry biscuit. Sometimes they had 2-3 pancakes. Also a soy or turkey sausage that was horrible. They had a rolling menu for lunch and dinner. They had this crap called KC Cheesesteak. We called it Kentucky Corrections Cheesesteak. It was not steak. Aramark used a lot of mechanically separated chicken or pink slime in their menu. I submitted an open records request to Aramark and the DOC asking to know what was in our food. I was told I didn't have a right to know this under the law. Some of the meals we had were decent, just usually not enough of a portion size. We had nachos made out of MSC, 5-10 doritos or tortilla chips, watery cheese sauce, rice, beans, and state cake. For desserts, they would fluctuate between cookies, state cake, brownies. They also had decent soup. Grilled sandwiches were a favorite. They started giving us mystery meat hamburgers, but we had tater tots. Those things sold like hotcakes if you could get some from the guys in the kitchen. We had hot dogs, but they were disgusting. And we had sloppy joes and a barbeque sloppy joe type thing with bread. Very rarely got buns. The worst was when you went to court or somewhere off site. You got a sandwich, chips, and a water or juice type thing. As for drinks, it was either water, some nasty juice kool aid type thing that would literally stain the tables, or tea. I usually drank tea.
Food was critical. Like you said. Eat it or you will starve. Thanks for doing this video.
Mechanically separated chicken is contained in Slim Jim's.
@@erichauck5747 it's in a lot of stuff. Textured vegetable protein is also. The problem I had was it was the meat or protein basis for a lot of meals. And they reused it. And the warnings on the Tyson box. For me, it wasn't about knowing the ingredients, I wanted to have Aramark put it in writing. I worked in the kitchen and saw the boxes and labels.
State of Colorado, we called the "Soup", '7 day soup', not the 'Manager Soup''. As for the hamburger tray, only on the 4th of July.
I never did time but it did work for the boc for 30 years and we had a staff side chow hall. I will give credit where credit is due those men who cooked in the staff side chow hall were excellent cooks.They were all in the culinary school and they did a great job and took pride in their cooking.Much respect to them
Def loving the prison content! Keep it coming!
I was so poor that prisonfood looks like champagne and caviar.Even rats started to throw breadcrumbs at me feeling sorry that I didn't have food as a kid.
Sounds like youve been through something like the great depression :( the only time when killing someone to go to prison might be worth it if they still kept serving food like this video.

@@revoltoff I perceived it to be a brick of shit with shitty gravy, some rough ass cake and a "steamed" vegetable smush.

That shit looks like and smells like warm Bolo (that's a cheap, shitty dog food)."
Hey Joe, not chuck wagon nor chicken fried steak !! In Ohio we call this the county patty. Lunch trays at this level 2 prison called Noble correctional institution, 1 day you got a chicken patty, 1 day you get country patty, 1 day brakepad patty, fiah patty on Fridays, then Saturdays a big salad with a boil egg, and some cut up strips of sweat meat on top. This is the luch summer menu tho, in the winter they change it up and give you different types of lunch and dinners. Breakfast is the same each week, it would be different things thought the week for 7 days but each week it repeated. Thanks for the video Joe. Stay blessed 🙏 & stay woke out there Brody!!

@@SpiritWolf209 Dude i’d eat the fuck out of that meal at 16:23
I've never been to prison. I've never been to jail. I have, however, served on county grand jury twice. When you serve on grand jury they give you a tour of the county jail in order to give you an idea of where you might be helping to send someone. You are given a tour of the kitchen as well. You are also provided a meal, the same one given to the inmates. The first tour I tasted the food in order to be polite. Tasted it. The second time I didn't touch it. One female juror actually got sick just looking at it.
Lesson: Keep your ass out of prison
I think your right for the most part. But there is a small percent of prisoners who are guilty of nothing more then bad luck...
I did over 7 years in prison in New York. They used plates and bowls on a tray. The food was pretty good and a nice amount. You'd be surprised!

I worked briefly as a C.O. at a state work release. The kitchen manager was an incredible cook. The homemade yeast rolls they made were better than any restaurant. The fried chicken was off the hook. On chicken days we had to monitor inmates to keep them from going through the line twice. They actually sold their chicken to other inmates. The kitchen was ran with more efficiecy than most restaurants. I guess with prison food it's all luck of the draw.

On one hand there's a part of me that thinks prison food _should_ be rough, it's part of the deal and if you don't want lousy food then don't go to prison. But I think at the end of the day a society is only as good as how it treats the people at the bottom, the ones who -- as a result of their own choices or not -- are no longer fending for themselves and are in that society's care. I think when you take away someone's freedom and therefore their ability to provide for themself, justified though it may be, you're taking responsibility for that person from that point forward. And how that person thinks of you when they leave, and your sense of justice and fairness and their desire to work with you and play by your rules going forward, I think may have something to do with how you treat them when you're holding the keys.
I understand your logic. I see both sides. I think that food should be decent. I also think that depending on your crime(s) should depend on your treatment
I will say imo I partially agree with you. Murders, rapists, child molesters etc hardened criminals SHOULD absolutely eat that shit. On the other hand people that commit petty crimes or less serious offenses should be eating more "normal" food. If I went to prison I'd straight starve to death. 🤢🤢🤮🤮
Your ignorant. Not everyone in prison is guilty - even if they were deemed that by a jury. It's people like you that say stuff like this, and then end up going to jail, and end up holding someone's pocket for protection.
