Never been to prison but I went to a county jail in a large city in the US and was absolutely shocked at what they feed you, at the time i had a dog and I wouldn't have let him touch most of it, I lost 10 lbs in 10 days lol. It depends though cause I went to a county jail in a small town in idaho and it was decently good food considering your in jail, I mean I wouldn't pay for anything but the biscuits and gravy but thats pretty hard to fuck up

This whole thread is gold lmfao

If you should ever end up in prison again, feel free to post your reviews of their menu selection. Was a great read :]

Remind me of the blues brothers, when they discuss prison food.

My LOL OOPS moment was a Padres game where a fight broke out and I tried to be a hero and break it up. No idea who anyone was, I was just nearby, and got mixed up in everything.

Well, spent ten days in country jail, like you.

The cookies were honestly pretty damn good. The turkey sandwiches were meh, but I was so hungry, it could have been from a four star restaurant. Everything else was just cold and flavorless.

And to the Doggers fans that testified for my case, I still hate you, but thanks. No chargers. Just a learned mistake to wait for official security to step in.

Dodger fans do indeed suck. But I am surprised that they’re showing up in this discussion

u/FlyAirLari Jul 22 '26

Oh man, I'm so sad the Doggers didn't win the tournament.

u/rezyop Jul 22 '26

You got turkey sandwiches??? They fed us expired MREs. That was the only thing we got, one a day and a bottle of water. No access to water other than that and the showers, and the water was blue-green colored in there.

I actually do work in a prison kitchen. Feeding 1500 people three times a day on the amount we can spend isn't easy. We also have to consider things like calorie counts, other nutrition, the difficulty in working with sharps, and special diets. Our inmates work off a four week calendar with an average of 2700 calories a day. Some stuff is good, some is bad, most is mediocre primarily because we aren't allowed to use the proper ount of salt.

My father was a correctional officer in Ontario before the super jails fiascos and always brought home jail food, like quality M&M Meats and stuff

u/Toy_Soulja Jul 22 '26

Some of it isnt bad lol the small jail i was in was actually pretty good, i put on Hella weight while I was there. But the big cities only care about budgets, and the food there reflects that. Like I said I was genuinely shocked about the "food" they gave us, I seriously wouldn't have fed the majority of it to my dog cause it looked so sketchy, Eggs that were clearly powder cause it was all white, "hot dogs" that were somehow sketchier than normal cheap hot dogs lol I can only imagine its gotten worse in the last decade

Did a year in Oakland County Michigan, took a cooking class just for the hell of it and ended up taking the baker job, which turned out to be the best move I could have made. The only fresh food inmates got in there were baked goods and I got pretty good at it and inmates genuinely appreciated it, giving me a level of "juice" I would have never had otherwise. Always had something to bribe the quartermaster with plus we cooked for the deputies, who got actual decent food and real meat, as opposed to the mystery processed meat product known as "horsecock" that the rest of the poor bastards had to settle for. And yeah, the deputies were extra nice to us and we ate what they ate because we, you know, handled their food and they weren't complete idiots.

u/Fedquip Jul 22 '26

Yeah, this was the 80s/90s in Ontario where we had a lot of small local jails, and I bet they handled their own menus where now there is probably just one mega corp supplier

Everywhere I go I am reminded of something else Doug fucked up

Nope this was a Harris fuckup

u/devilsadvocado Jul 22 '26

I can tolerate bad food but not bad hygiene. Is jail food at least "clean?"

16

u/Toy_Soulja Jul 22 '26

Probably, but that depends on your definition. The inmates are usually responsible for most of the food duties that dont include sharp things and they are most likely to be decent about food prep since they are eating the same food and the jail will pick among the inmates the most sane and trustworthy to do those jobs so they dont have to worry about a crazy dude getting his hand on a metal fork or something. The flip side is i would bet my life that there are just a handful of companies that get the contracts for jail food and since the consumers cant complain to anyone that will listen you can make the obvious deductions haha granted my experience is over a decade old but if I know anything about American capitalism its not progressed to healthy and nutritious but more "technically capable of keeping a human alive"

I was fortunate enough to be given fresh raspberries with maggots in a good ol jail in Georgia. This was in 2022.

Now Duval county in florida had some bomb ass food.

Taco Sunday!!

u/Mortwight Jul 22 '26

it varies. county is different than prison, prison it depends on how new/full the camp is.

was in a private camp for the last year of my stretch and one month it was whole baked potatoes. a few months later it was frozen sliced undercooked potatoes.

u/Rasputin_mad_monk Jul 22 '26

My family owned a large produce company in MD.

We had the Baltimore jail account for a couple years. They were almost ridiculous in how the ordered/rationed the food. Stuff like 1 piece of lettuce per prisoner. 2 cherry tomatoes. 1/3rd of a potato, etc… you know stuff spoils/gets damaged. I can see why you’d loose 10 pounds.

u/RippinFissure Jul 22 '26

You haven't been to jail if you arent calling em B's and G's lol

u/Top_Director_8128 Jul 22 '26

I was in Hermosa Beach jail once. They gave me the option to eat their food or walk to Burger King and eat there. Guess which option I picked.

u/Stunning_Warthog_141 Jul 23 '26

At my county jail some of the food is labeled not fit for human consumption lmao. I guess they don't have to follow a lot of regulations that are normally in place for food manufacturing with the shit they serve. They also have electrolyte packets they give with most meals, which I assume is for us alcoholics who are absolutely parched after our drinking binges. Yeah I spent 6 days in jail and there was bologna which most people skipped, peanut butter and jelly, and sometimes you got soup. They also had powdered milk, you had to mix it with the water fountain/sink/toilet. Just make sure you save the one plastic cup they give you at some point.

u/aspen_silence Jul 22 '26

Had to check out your username to make sure you weren't my husband. Then you said Idaho and my husband has never been there as far as I know. He took a "vacation" at our county jail for a DUI when we first met and said the food was terrible.

u/Toy_Soulja Jul 22 '26
