Prison Food - Yum! (NOT!!!)

Now that I'm out of food in my locker, I've been relying on the food in the dining hall for nutrition. I don't really know how healthy the food from the kitchen is, but I can tell you what it tastes like. It's like someone threw some sand on a slab of cardboard and hosed it down with water. The food here is so one-dimensional in flavor that even a good imagination couldn't come up with a good way to compensate. The people that run the kitchen must either lack spices and the know-how to use them or they are doing their part in creating a bad environment to make sure that we don't ever come back here.

When I arrived at this unit back in March last year, the food was far better. We were eating yummy quesadillas and creative shredded beef. Unfortunately, that kitchen captain left to start her own restaurant nearby. Immediately the food quality fell. This was back in June. Since then, commissary has been necessary to tickle the taste buds. Without commissary, we are left to the mercy of bad beans, greens, and processed pork. Ugh.
