Inmate's food is far from free. The saddest reality of it is that once the facility is developed at the cost of the tax payers, it is handed over to a privatized company/owner who, in turn, creates a system that not only milks the federal and local municipalities out of obligatory stipends for each individual detainee; but, ALSO gets to charge/penalize those same exact individuals, as well as their families. They are 'legally' required to give you your daily allotment of slop and medical assistance, regardless of your ability to pay; however, these amenities are far from the satisfactory scale we would hold professionals to outside of the system. I was never a fan of school food, but I can assure you from personal experience that it is 100% better than jail food. I can only assume those that relate to this have never been incarcerated or had loved ones that have. It's one of the most fucked up experiences a person can endure.

Not in the stereotypical bullshit you think of it from television and film. The actuality of it. The best way I could describe jail would be: Living inside of a bathroom with a random stranger, trading snacks as currency. To even have the remotest facsimile of a 'decent' meal, you'll require money be it from the inside or the outside. -NOTE- I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: Never. Not once. Not even a little bit did I ever, even remotely think that, even our "best" meal was good. Like everyone else there, it made me miss the outside even more. Food is an almost guaranteed way to break a man, and if you guys think for a second that, even the old local county jail right down the road from you, wouldn't withhold food and water, and otherwise fuck your existence up for the sake of their own power trip, then you're too naive to understand at all.

I'm not talking about murderers and child molesters here. We are conditioned to treat everyone in jail the same, regardless. The guy who raped and murdered a girl, treated the same as the guy who kills her murderer. Or robs him. Or fades him. When you fall into the system, you are all treated like shit, not matter what petty thing you did to get there. The SAME system that uses those same people they have in captivity as 95% of the work force. You think Correction Officers are cleaning toilets, or mowing grass, or fixing meals? No. They are not. Inmates are, and they are being inticed to do so because.... You guessed it. Extra food and snacks (which is money). Also, to get slightly better treatment. Don't get me wrong, you'll still be treated like a shit sandwich. Just not a soggy one.
