Is prison food as bad as people say?
John Tyler
Actually, it's not terrible.

Actually, it's not terrible. It reminds me of school food. It has all the nutritional value but it lacks taste. The inmates are the cooks, and unless they have been watching Bobby Flay, the food remains bland. Inmates with money on their books can supplement their food intake with "better" food options from the commissary.
