Thank you. I tried to pass on as much as I could. My ideology was Firm Fair and Consistent. Be the same person everyday.

Lol commencary foo, drug dealers can afford to eat the good shit. Only the junkies live off trays.

Jail food is usually not as bad as public school food... ...let that sink in...

​@@fearless1024 As someone who's been to jail many times, I completely disagree with you.

@@LuciferTheDogKiller yes kids think the school is going to serve them chick fil a

That’s not a great reason.

I appreciate the kind words. I can honestly say I tried.

Thank you!

It’s not a perfect system, nor does it stop guys from coming back. Glad some of this is keeping people out.

More noodles than cheese (Since it was placed on top)...Appreciate the comment.

Their not allowed cell phones. They are considered contraband and have considerable value in jails and prisons. They are brought in by staff, drones and contact visitation.

I hope you found it worth your time and the content provided some insight into a world that most don’t experience whether as an inmate or staff.

It happens. When I first posted a video, a CO who commented refused to admit he missed one ever in his career. My reaction was COME on. If it's my fault, the tank got the extras. It happens especially around movement of a large number of inmates.

This is pretty accurate to what we served. We were required to pick random trays and eat the same food that inmates were. It wasn’t the best food I have ever had but it was far from the worse. Having served in the military, our daily was comparable at times to what was served in our jail. Some people have experiences in facilities with absolutely horrible food….It has to be nutritionally there, it doesn’t have to taste good. That’s a reality. People seem to have this concept that their experience in prison or jail from other parts of the country must be how it is everywhere else. I can tell you we did NOT serve blended food combos or meatloafs which are served in some facilities in violent / suicide prevention cells. Our Sheriff started his career in corrections and made it clear he wanted to maintain a certain standard.

Welcome!!

A lot of similarities to be honest. I served as well. I am headed to Manila in 2 weeks, second trip. I subscribed to your channel.

I was on a flag ship food was excellent. In port I often came back early from liberty just to eat in the mess hall.

I was in the Air Force, which I didn't enjoy, but the food was great.

I was on a Tin-Can....We had okay food....The good food was often followed by bad news. If you got in good with the CS's....they always had something special cooking in the back. We had a Filipino CS1, who was amazing at turning very little into a tasty meal.

My last two years in the service was at an Air Force command. Absolutely amazing food and quality of life. Pick your rate, choose your fate...same applies to the branches.

Not at the facility I worked. The food we served was sourced from major chains…Chicken Patties were Tyson ext. Inmates may get outside food during hospital stays or during transport but it’s not common.

It wasn’t horrible. Kinda middle of the road in my opinion.

I appreciate the feedback. KZfaq is an evolving art. Educational videos, informational content, have a different pace than talking. In my more recent videos I have tried to be more concise, simply talk faster based on early feedback. We can all learn. I hope you were able to find the information useful.

I have heard of better trays that what is shown....I have heard of worse as well. I would say my old facility was middle of the road. We did not serve the blended food "meatloafs"....That's probably the worst looking and tasting stuff.

Sometimes it wasn’t too bad. Frosting helped which was provided on special occasions at our facility. I guess kinda like a pound cake?

@UniversitySecurity .....Oh, I definetly know how state cake taste like.....I always gave it away for something else. Never any frosting.....just the cake.

What is the white thing in the upper left? I assume that's salad in the upper middle?

We didn't have one. We would randomly select a tray, and a supervisor would have to try the inmates food. My opinion was it was pretty normal for processed food. Tyson chicken nuggets ext. Officer's would have to do portion checks. example was ensuring 5 oz weight for the peanut butter sandwich.

@@UniversitySecurity was your prison a closed security? Or lower?

@@BajanNatureMysticDolt We were pretrial confinements, ie jail. We handled all classifications.

Never

@@UniversitySecurity ya I didn't think so. Ty for the response I just stumbled across your channel this morning.

Hopefully it helps. In regards to the trays, if it was my fault and I had walked away from the unit, they got to keep them. If they are attempting to steal from the cart it was a write up. I’m not fighting an inmate for a state cake, pick your battles. Food means a lot in institutions, just like shake downs don’t destroy the commissary. Get the job done and be respectful, it goes along way.

Appreciate your perspective. The food in our county facility was actually fairly decent compared to other facilities around the country.

currently that would be better than many free people in Cuba, as I have heard that times are hard over there right now. It could be seen as an incentive to get 'locked up' ?

They are provided a special tray, late night snack is also common. Sandwich....Nursing staff will have OJ for those who need it. Typically diabetics are closely monitored by nursing staff. With sugar tests at least twice a day. Of course they can refuse and that is seriously watched / documented. We had RN / LVN staff along with a visiting doctor (General and Phycologist) and dentist.

Special Diet Trays

Don't commit a crime and you won't have to worry about it.

They're considered special needs, and get the appropriate food.

@@rockystelone21 Not everyone who is locked up has been convicted of a crime. A lot of them are waiting trial, and could be found innocent.

The legal responsibility to provide care extends post conviction as well.

Thanks for watching

It’s not universal across the board. What is typical is minimum amount of require calories and an approved diet plan by a dietitian. What those calories are besides food can vary. Like the military, correctional institutions don’t always provide the best food….Or even commercial quality food. We were middle of the road in the inmates eyes…I thought it was fairly decent…Something along the lines of public school food in our local area.

A diabetic tray, a long with a sandwich for the night time. Emergency items are available with nursing staff.

Thank you

I don’t remember this being done by most but it’s a thought. In the military, we put hot sauce on just about everything. Same idea!
