[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 679703, member: 1963"] My late husband turned down a very lucrative job running the kitchen at a prison in far Southern IL right after he got out of the Army. (Before he went to cooking school). On the third interview, they had him spend a half day "working" in their kitchen and husband got a look at how poor the quality of their food was, how poorly/dangerously it was handled, and how little the prisoners were given to eat, and refused the job on the spot. Also, commissary doesn't sell much "real" food in most prisons, more snacks and junk food. The closest you can get to real food is ramen and stuff like tinned sardines and the like, both loaded with fat and sodium, though sardines at least have some decent nutritonal value. Even in the Army, with fluctuating availability of ingredients, a good cook could turn out tasty, nutritious food. [/QUOTE]
