I saw an example of a "big-house recipe" for Nutriloaf being prepared on the 'tube here. It had grated carrots, applesauce, raisins, oatmeal, canned beans, and much more; just a melange of foods that, eaten separately, are perfectly palatable, providing life-giving nutrients and fiber to spare. However, when the ingredients are mixed and molded into this misbegotten, miserable, mutated mockery of a meal, and baked or steamed (and, paradoxically, moist heating will render it just as insanely dry and crumbly as dry roasting will), you get this Geneva Convention-violating, weaponized Constipation Helper horror. Nothing used in it even remotely compliments anything else, and flavors that shouldn't come within a mile of each other actively clash on the tongue like gangs in a prison riot. Nutriloaf ought to be served flambé-style on a burning miniature mattress, and studded with pretzel sticks carved into edible shivs, to complete the presentation.

Hi. I worked as an inmate supervisor in a corrections kitchen. I saw one loaf in my 6 months there. It was served to an inmate in the segregation unit who tried to squirt feces and urine at the corrections officers out of his cell access panel during tray collection after a meal. Nutrient Loaf Is absolutely as disgusting as it sounds and is absolutely used as a punishment. But tbh, its a comparatively small symptom at the top of the mountain of issues plaguing the American corrections system. The base goals of our corrections systems need to be driven towards rehabilitation not punishment, as it is now, before we can fix institutional "administrative foibles" Like NutriLoaf and camera coverage dead zones. The reform necessary to make our CJ system effective and safe is a generational effort at least. That's how absolutely FUBAR the whole thing is. Thanks guys for the work you do in educating people on the massive injustice and criminality in our corrections and justice system.

Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of my times on a US submarine doing food onload. While daisy-chaining boxes of food on a submarine for deployment I would often see boxes of food that would say this: "UNFIT FOR PRISONER CONSUMPTION". What is sad is in Military submarines are considered to have some of the best food, yet we had food that was marked not good for prisoners, a lovely way to support the troops.

I worked DOC for 2 years dealing with the corruption & illegal shit before I could finally find a new job. Can confirm. Inmates in confinement (as opposed to open pop housing, for problematic inmates) would rather go hungry and not eat at all vs eating the loaf. Many times I'd have to give it to them and they'd just tell me no, not to even put it in the food flaps.

A few things to consider: These 'loafs' are usually used when an inmate is very disruptive, which includes throwing feces, spitting, and prison food, at correctional officers and staff. These loafs', in Iowa anyway, are usually (and supposedly) left overs from a previous days meal, blended then baked. Consider that much of the food products used in prisons are well past expiration dates (very well past), and/or considered rejects that cannot be sold for public consumption. By leaving them at room temperature it expedites bacteria growth that can and is harmful to humans. Then there is the 'appeal' portion, you know, where we, as human beings, prefer food that looks edible, even appetizing? The combination of the above often results in something that a goat and most dogs would turn their noses up too. Feeding the said inmate this loaf, several times a day, for weeks on end, often results in huge weight loss and pushing said inmate to the border of medical distress. (Most refusing to eat such a item until starvation forces them too, or they pass out from the lack of food, at which point the prison medical staff are forced to induce feeding (i.e. via a tube down the throat) which causes injury and severe violation of said inmate's person. Now, it is not, in general, the prisons intent to do this but they are obligated by law to 'keep said inmate' alive, period. So yes, by the basic definition of cruel and unusual, this qualities. For the inmate, for the officers and staff that have to administer such treatment, and for humanity in general. Don't think so? Then I challenge you to buy the cheapest, oldest foodstuffs you can, blend them with your coffee, milk, etc., and baked them, then feed them to your family and yourself at every meal for say, two weeks. Record the results physically, mentally, and socially. You might change your opinion.

Go to work behind those walls and fences and tell me how easy it is to manage killers rapist child murders doing life without parole and could care less about you or your health and well being. I do not agree with being served something that is expired but who gives a damn about if it looks edible. I challenge you to go to work in a prison maximum security prison in administrative segregation with the worst inmates on the farm and work for say two weeks.

@@yourseatatthetable this is what makes it a punishment in the first place. I imagine being in prison alone isnt fun and it shouldnt be. the point is that people who are criminal get punished and people who still do despicable crap while already in the prison need some sort of potential punishment like this awful food. people need positive AND negative motivation to assure that they behave well, otherwise, what is going to stop people from throwing their own shit around and do they really deserve the same diet and treatment as the other people who get thrown at for no reason?

I've spent some time in the county jail(as an inmate) - a bit different than prison. We had those loaves there. Mostly I saw it being given to mental patients and those that would throw regular food at the sheriff's deputies. I worked in the kitchen and I was more concerned about the frozen food that had been expired for more than a year and the food that said "Not For Human Consumption" right on the box. The loaves I saw were made from whatever the meal would be, blended and baked, and would vary each day.

I heard about the loaf and seen it during my brief time at a government paid non-voluntary resort, but never got a chance to taste it, due to not getting an opportunity to be punished further. Dry white bread and single slice bologna and cheese was instead one of the choices for lunch which I selected from the menu every day, and not just for the reason that it was the only item. Dinners were actually not too bad.. and believe it or not, 3 months is all you need to get in good shape when you're not given choices in food nor extra. Technically it's the easiest process to achieve.. eat less, move more. But I digress.
