Meals

Interview with John, Raquel, Colby, Nikki, Lea, Hoyllwood and Woody

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
John: 3 meals.
Raquel: 3 but you only get breakfast if your willing to wake up at 5:30
Colby: 3 meals are provided a day, and if you do extra work in the jail you are allowed to have an extra tray or you can use the weekly commisary to purchase additional food items at your expense that will be deducted from your account.
Nikki: 3 meals per day
Lea: 3
Hoyllwood: I got no meals... I begged for food on a few occasions but the police just laughed at me and turned around. They'd eat right in front of you and smile at you. I never once saw prisoner get fed.
Woody: meals? is that what that was when they said TRAYS TRAYS

JM: How would you rate the food? Please give details of why.
John: Horrible.
Raquel: out of 10 a 1 when you first get there, after a while it grows on you and yyou learn to mix all the stuff together, then it's a 2
Colby: on a scale from 1 to 10... Quality: 5 if you like your vegetables Quantity: 1 food is enough for an 10 year old child
Nikki: on a scale of 1-10....I give it a 3, pretty bad and the servings are very small, not enough! I was always hungry! I don't think they were in compliance with the 4 food groups or recommended daily requirred intake of calories!
Lea: 1, food was never cooked right either very undercooked or fried to hard to eat. the meat looked like it was a disease waiting to happen and bread was like dough. the food was made by other inmates so no telling what the hell they did to it. worst food ever could not drive myself to eat it
Hoyllwood: I guess 0 because I never got to taste the food.
Woody: i wouldent even rate it i just wanna know what Bexar county did with the 3 million dollars they got from the stste to improve the food

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
John: Favorite was breakfast and it was pancakes. Least favorite was dinner and no one knew what it was meat patties of some type.
Raquel: No, they all tasted the same... :(
Colby: beans and erasers with vita pro.
Nikki: the baked chicken was good. I did not like the gravy that came with the biscuits and gravy, YUK! I never tasted anything like it, not normal!
Lea: hated all of them
Woody: weekend breakfast was probably the best because we got pancakes and they would swell up in ur stomach you needed this to get ready for the biscuit and bologna you got for lunch and dinner

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals? What was commissary like and how expensive was it?
John: Full commissary privileges as a trustee.
Raquel: Sure, buy commissary.
Colby: fruits and oatmeal cookies
Nikki: NO!!! not unless you paid for them out of your inmate account and ordered from the commisary
Lea: without comissary you will die.
Woody: sure if you dug thru the garbage

Look at our website: texasjailproject.org
We have a link on there to report the stuff that is against the rules, like not enough food, problems with commissary, no recreation time; repot that to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. Also if they are not getting sick calls or if they are not getting meds. Look under "How Do I Make a Complaint?"

It's not as bad as you think. Just lay low, don't talk crap to anyone, don't disregard the guards or rules, hang out for Bible study. Got me through.

Us taxpayers pay alot of money, to feed these inmates.Whats wrong with this system? The guards are all un educated, why are they getting paid what they are?? I know you are trying to teach a lesson to these people in there, but the system is screwed up, because of Pret trial officers over worked, some of these inmates shouldn't even be in there.
