[QUOTE="DDD, post: 591620, member: 35"] I agree that it varies alot evidently from one place to another. The website may give some answers. In our local jail they have a nurse and due to easy child/difficult child's Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) issues and medication needs I called and spoke to her. She was very pleasant, assured me he would get his medications etc. If you fear they are not aware of the pregnancy then it should be acceptable to call the nurse with that info. The food is cheap and based on caloric intake required as well as cost control. Breakfast was often oatmeal or other hot cereal. on the other hand they had a few basic menus that they mixed up. I know this because easy child/difficult child only ate breakfast on the days that they had what he liked. Lunch was often bologna sandwiches but it varied a bit. Dinner also varied and although sharing food was against the rules....the guys would trade the dinner they didn't like with someone who in turn shared the breakfast or lunch meal they liked. Sigh. The money we put into his account was often used for food and snacks. You could buy extra underwear, hygiene items, stationery etc. Although some people believe that to be enabling our choice was to contribute so we knew he would be full. Our family has always been big on eating and it was a relief for us to know he would have access. Likely we would have chosen that option even if he didn't have health issues. I don't know about the female population but the males often played cards etc with the "ante" being snacks. It's not a easy child life in any jail but difficult child's adapt. Personally I absolutely increased my recitations of the Serenity Prayer because without a doubt you have to "accept the things you can not change" and correctional systems do things their way. I know you are worried and I am sending supportie hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
