Interview with Jessica, Sarah and Curt


JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Jessica: We would get three meals a day. Breakfast was at four in the morning, lunch at eleven in the morning and dinner at four in the afternoon. No food was offered in the middle twelve hour period.
Sarah: 3
Curt: three meals a day.

JM: How would you rate the food?
Jessica: I did not particularly care for most of it but I personally am a picky eater. The meals were hot and didn't seem to make anyone real sick.
Sarah: 1
Curt: terrible

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Jessica: My favorite meals were breakfasts with the eggs and jelly with bread or the chicken on the bone with macaroni and cheese. The chicken was the only real meat in there, everything else was soy. I did not care for the oatmeal, spicey green beans, bologne or really much of any of the other food there. I mostly ate bread for my 9 days.
Sarah: Yes I hated the mashed potatoes they tasted like paste, the beans were horrible. They must have had a huge vat of them because you would eat them for 3 or 4 days in different recipies. I enjoyed the noodles with a brown meat sauce and the chili and rice was good.
Curt: all of it was my least favorite.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals?
Jessica: You could have snacks outside of meals only if you purchased them from comessary.
Sarah: no you could buy commissary food but if your owed the jail money they would take what you owed them before you could get anything. I was a trustee so they waived the $2.50 a day fee for being in there.
Curt: no!
