Nutrition and Incarceration?

For those of you who have been in and out of the penal system, how do you maintain your nutrition during the incarceration? Asking for a friend.

Ask someone else if they're gonna eat that

Good idea. The person doing the asking should be larger than the person getting asked. I bet small people that are incarcerated get hit up a lot for their food.

Commissary food if you can afford it. Saying for a friend....

I worked in the jail here in cook county in the past, eggs, milk and peanut butter were pretty much unlimited to the inmates.

18 years ago most had beef, now they’re all millennial style inmates (skinny necks, bad posture, etc). Everyone has a gun nowadays and they’re too busy smoking that $h!t so no weight training. You get a token white kid in there every so often.

Like you buy shampoo for someone to give you their meat at lunch. Then once you’ve been there for a while choose to get a job in the kitchen. That way when you cook you can eat extra protein.

Commissary is ok to just get calories in, but stuff runs out, and it’s like non perishable chips, ramen and candy. Some times you just have to buy your own cup for water, people will trade that for their daily meat slop. Commissary normally puts limits on what you can get per - week so trading helps the cap the proteins you can get generally

OP, tell your “friend” never to offer to buy a fellow inmate shampoo in return for giving him his [i]meat[/i] during lunch.

I have been in carneceria many times. I usually just get the marinated carne asada.

They fed me chicken nuggets. Eventually I started refusing to eat and they just let me go because the entire situation was bull**** anyway
