These Facts About The Food In America's Prisons Are Downright Shocking! We Couldn't Believe What They're Forcing Prisoners To Eat!
There are some real horror stories out there about prisons, both here in the United States and around the world. However, American prisons are held to certain standards and required to furnish inmates with basic needs such as adequate nutrition.
In the past few years, there have been several scandals involving how prisoners are fed. Plus, some of the companies outsourced to feed inmates have been found in violation of several major laws.
In fact, upon closer inspection prison food leaves much to be desired and many might argue that the state of the food fed to inmates violates basic civil rights.
Plus, prisoners who misbehave are even punished by being fed food known to be extremely unappetizing. Those are just a few of the tidbits that website Spoon University uncovered when investigating the condition of prison food across America. Trust us, the story gets even worse!

Hey they get to eat and take breaths. Some of the victims don’t.
Really?? They have food, eat it or not! Oh F-ing well!
Many people, those who are not in JAIL, go hungry every day, I bet they wouldn’t complain!
They have nutritionists that dictate the menu.
The food is good enough to keep an inmate alive.
That is all they deserve.
Someone is high n mighty?????
What percentage are murderers. .1/2?
I didn’t complain about the food my 3 years….much. Ha…. But max prisons should be for punishment. The rest should actually aim for what they are called….corrections
I said IF
Not high and mighty just an honest working person
I made some gourmet like dishes off commissary….. Id say only 1 or 2 meals a week was so awful it was basically inedible. I still went to give it away to someone who would eat it…..
Cool. I did my 3 years in…..been out 9. So I’m with you now… Food Was horrible but i didn’t complain plus you can buy packaged food…so i don’t feel bad about food quality. I will say all i got one day was a couple strips of cabbage in some water. Anyways Giving up those 3 years may have added 50 plus years to my life……
If you work in the jail than you know that all inmates are their because they victimized anyone
Martha Calderon ? I really don’t give a$#%&!@*what they did. Not my job but someone is a victim of the things they do.
They are not supposed to be on vacation. At least they get fed!
I bet the person they murdered would love to sit down and have a meal with their Family……
I don’t really care what they’re eating. Theyrr not in the Ritz.
too bad
They’re lucky they even get food!
Etalokohc Snoisserpxe A question for you….if someone murdered your child and they complained about the food he/she was being fed in prison….would you really care??? I know ONE prisoner that has fed ME grief, sadness and emptiness for the rest of my life….you rehabilitate someone who has empathy and you do it before they take a life because once they commit a MURDER…there is no rehabilitating……beans, rice and a fresh salad is humane…and nutritious….they don’t get to choose, steak, lobster or pork chops just as the parent of a murdered child can’t enjoy life with a full heart anymore…neither do they deserve to have a steak dinner…you talk about being bitter…then they need to stay even longer and consequences….what about the victim’s consequences??? Yeah…that subject is for another day and a written book!!!
I’m with Sue
Like I said before, these are the same people u expect to become rehabilitated amd get a job so they don’t reoffend. Alsi, I’m the wife of an Innocence Project client. He goes to court on Friday and soon to be released after being held 19yrs for a murder he didn’t commit and the state has BEEN known it. He isn’t the only one either! At the prison he is at 7 ppl have already been released based on their true innocence. So when this flawed system starts properly investigating crimes, arrest the right perpatrators and stop locking innocent people up instead of going for the quick arrest I’ll stop caring what is fed to them.
P.S. Btw National Wrongful Conviction day is October 2nd
Everyone in jail/prison aren’t murderers either. So u need to come with a better argument than your personal loss. Right now we are dealing with a victim’s family who had to have their hearts ripped back open because they’re just now finding out that my husband didn’t murder their family member. It’s heartbreaking to witness but had the law done their job properly an innocent boy (he was tried as an adult) wouldn’t have been arrested.
So u can right a book but baby I got chronicles over here for u so let’s go!
I understand that they did something wrong and if they act up in prison being put in the shue is bad enough. Prison outsourcing is just a way for a company to make money. They are human being and should be treated and feed as one.
Nobody forced them to go to prison…
Irma Cantu Manzanarez if a loved one is sent to jail then they deserve it. Food is for survival not pleasure.
Debbie Wentka Baldwin maybe Sue is spot on because jail isn’t supposed to be a culinary experience.
That’s more and better than some kids get each day
Tuff$#%&!@*if you want to eat good food stay out of jail that simple, these are the penalties for breaking the law.
Not all ppl arrested are guilty. There are waaaaay more falsely accused than what’s being reported. Most are in jail for low level crimes that don’t have personal victims. There are also monies distributed to buy certain items and substandard foods are bought so they can cook books and pocket the remainder. THIS I KNOW FOR A FACT!
Low level crime is a crime so why should we care?
What gets me is that they won’t see jail time over it.
and we should care because??????????????
Well they should of done the crime to get there so I don’t give a$#%&!@*if they starve or hate what they eat.. Us working americans don’t even eat half as good as these people do
Oh sure they are all innocent lol
Don’t break laws and don’t go to prison and this will never be an issue
Are you kidding me, these slime balls committed a crime to be in prison! They should have to starve!! Remembering the victims!!
wtf, it is not room service!
I remember eating at luby’s a lonnnngggg time ago
Tough$#%&!@*it is prison after all
If prisoners are unhappy with their food, perhaps they should not commit ta crime that puts them in prison to begin with.I am more concerned about the garbage being fed to our children in the schools or the ones that are homeless and not getting a meal everyday. As far as I am concerned, the prisoners should be living in a tent city and eating beans and rice.
If thy did not want to eat$#%&!@*thy should not have done the crime. Prison is not suppose to be club med or a vacation. Its punishment for doing wrong.
I thought was smoke until I read the article. Cruel and unusual punishment HMMMMMM!!!
I wasn’t looking for a pitty party. I was just helping to confirm the post.
They are criminals in prison for punishment. It is not a vacation.
SERIOUSLY??? They should have thought about that BEFORE they committed crimes!
Recipe Station. Aw ! Poor pitiful law breakers. They can eat a do-do burger as far as I care.
There are people and families in this country starving who didn’t commit a small crime up to a felony like murder just for the joy and that they could. I would rather see those families with food in their bellies…
It’s free be happy with what ya get or don’t do stupid crap to give up your right to eat whatever the heck you want to.
If they don’t like the food, then don’t do the crime. Me I would feed them bologna sandwich’s for breakfast, lunch, and supper!
Yeah but when you extort the kitchen workers to bring back the good stuff the C.O’s eat and take commissary and make it into 5☆ meals back in the dorm its all good…but if your broke in prison well yeah the regular food sucks
