1600? Yikes. That’s like bare minimal survival. I bet the big hefty people that go in there feel quite a bit of suffering until their bodies get used to so little food.
600% is definitely hyperbole on my part. I don’t know the exact prices, but they are significantly marked up. The hourly rate is pretty accurate though.
I think they shoot for 1800kcal per day but from my experience in county jail that’s bullshit. More like 1600

Prison, in most countries, is intended to be vengeance. A bit of suffering is the point, unfortunately.
I’m not sure but I think that it’s also to keep the prisoners slightly malnourished so they’re easier to control.
yeah that’s rough. Even as a non-prisoner, if I eat so few calories, I can’t think clearly and I can’t sleep at night.
You can buy peanut butter and ramen and such from commissary.
At a 600% markup, with your .35 per hour wages.
Yikes, a 600% markup would mean that these 16-ounce peanut butter jars would cost almost $20 each 😳
are you serious? Or are you exaggerating a little?
