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.

[@jenrs0445]

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.

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.

[@JC-11111]

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

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!!

That's true! ARAMARK serves jail, factories and schools

[@dallasmay4031]

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

[@michealwhitehead4081]

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]

Mechanically separated chicken is contained in Slim Jim's.

[@michealwhitehead4081]

@@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.

[@milescorporosus4058]

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.

[@Babette1986]

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

[@jayer-su3hu]

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. 🤢🤢🤮🤮

[@greyskywarren6028]
