Lousy, but it offers all the essential nutrients and vitamins that are required for the daily minimum. It's prison, hard to expect much more. Inmates can supplement their food intake by buying food stuff at the commissary. Inmates that have money on their books can buy tuna, chicken, salmon, beef, mackerel and summer sausage (like salami) to make their own meals.
