[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 679705, member: 20063"] Yep, it's gross stuff. Unusually bad at this particular jail. The last two jails he was in had decent meals, so no need to pad commissary. I also put $ in so he can write letters--need $ for stamps. It's one of the times we communicate best, is in writing. One thing this Aramark does, is they have a site called icare.com. This I believe is why they serve such crappy food in the actual jail kitchen, is because they want people ordering "hot food" and spending tons of money online. It's bad too...nothing really healthy. But I have been able to order hot food online that gets to him at his jail. The guys who are lucky enough to have family who will do this order 5 "hots" and hide them in their locker and eat them throughout the week, bc they can only have one order per week. The hot choices are, pizza, wings, philly steak and cheese, buffalo chicken sandwiches and boneless wings. All about $15 each, except the philly cheese steak is $11 appx. I've only sent this type of stuff twice, and he can only get it on Saturday. This is one way they get a little bit of condiment, and pepsi with a few otis spunkmeyer cookies. Yep, crazy, but it's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, if they want to eat where he is, they almost have to have $ spent by family members. Otherwise they eat next to rotten and definitely stale food. Not all jails are this bad, but this one is absolutely disgusting. I am also able to send beef jerky, chicken, and tuna for protein, and that is a little better. Even so, they package it in such a way that you are almost forced to by various packages to make one decent package. For instance, they will put the tuna with wraps in one big package, but if you want mayo and pickles, you have to order another package. It's ALL about that money with these friggen jails. It's nothing great but it's at least edible. [/QUOTE]
