[QUOTE="donna723, post: 500054, member: 1883"] I'm not sure what the issues would be with the candy or only being able to have it some locations, and it may be different with the juveniles. In our adult system there are also very strict rules about candy and what they are and are not allowed to have. Ours could buy certain kinds of candy in the commissary and keep it in their rooms, mainly candy bars made of chocolate. They were NOT allowed to have hard candies of any type, the kinds that are mostly sugar. Ours would take these hard candies and crush them up and use them as the sugar base to make their homemade liquor ferment! The ones who worked in the kitchen would also smuggle out the sugar-based drink mixes and Jello powders because they were mostly sugar and they could do the same thing with them. They would mix these sugary things with fruit or juice or even bread, potato peels or popcorn if they were desperate enough. Put it all together, let it sit for a while, and if you didn't get caught, you would have a nasty (but drinkable) alcoholic beverage. The system had to go to buying only artifically sweetened drink mixes and gellatins and actual granulated or powdered sugar is strictly forbidden. Even the employees have to use artificial sweetners for their coffee, no real sugars. And when they served fresh or canned fruit in the dining halls as part of a meal, the rule was that they had to eat it there. They would get a write-up for trying to bring any kind of fruit back to the housing units with them. [/QUOTE]
