众所周知,监狱食物很糟糕。有时,据说是几乎不可用。因此,那些没有被判入狱的人不可能想象一个人必须经历的风味剥夺,以使煮熟的鸡蛋看起来像是一个重大升级。众所周知在家煮的食物中走私,他们在烹饪单调中休息一下如此绝望。
在华盛顿的土狼山脊矫正中心的康奈尔(Connell),单调变成了愤怒,变成了粮食罢工,其中大多数囚犯最近拒绝吃监狱服务的餐点。相反,他们从小卖部购买了所有食物。根据三城市先驱,在监狱的2,000名囚犯中,约有1,7000人拒绝监狱餐,直到惩教官员同意进行某些更改。
作为取出editor Kevin Pang wrote after his reporting visits to Illinois’ Westville Correctional Facility, the lack of food choice and variety is one of the most striking and visceral daily reminds of one’s confinement: “Every person I surveyed, without fail, used the word ‘bland’ in describing chow hall food. Rather than prepare separate trays for inmates with high cholesterol or blood pressure, the kitchen serves low-sodium meals for the entire prison population. Even with the added salt, though, it tastes like a vague notion of lunch, with all the flavor and pleasure of food eaten one hour after dental surgery.”
在土狼山脊矫正中心,2014年从现场准备的餐点(使用监狱中生长的食材制成)到预先包装在监狱拥有的厨房中准备的餐点的饭菜特别不高兴。他们愤怒的具体物体:“早餐船”。含有松饼,早餐吧,花生酱和果冻三明治以及一包燕麦片或谷物和一包干牛奶,在晚餐时分发了早餐船,以便第二天早上囚犯可以吃。《三城市先驱报》报道说,在粮食打击和谈判之后,惩教官员现在同意用煮熟的鸡蛋代替松饼,以改善餐食的蛋白质含量。官员们还对电视和锻炼设备做出了让步,据报道,有96%的囚犯现在回到吃监狱的餐点。
