“Inmates certainly aren’t eating like kings, but they are provided with a variety of meal options on a rotating schedule that meet their needs.' 7NEWS
For ex-convict Jackson Allum, pranks on fellow prisoners and portions of hot wings were the highlights of his mealtimes in prison, which were otherwise largely made up of frozen sandwiches and tins of tuna.
Similar to the aluminium trays doled out above the clouds, those distributed behind bars are prepped and filled en-masse by fellow inmates working in kitchens where food is immediately frozen after it is cooked.Allum said each day in prison began with a humble breakfast of cereal or bread, setting the no-frills theme for the rest of the day’s eating.
“But it’s not slop either. You know in the movies when they give you grey slop on a tray, it’s not like that.”“Inmates certainly aren’t eating like kings, but they are provided with a variety of meal options on a rotating schedule that meet their needs, ensuring they’re well-fed and ready to participate in meaningful activities within prison,” Lee said.
“I never ate canned tuna outside of jail,” Allum told 7NEWS.com.au, adding he never really liked sandwiches either. He took it well and the boys felt bad afterwards, sharing their meat and vegetables in exchange for onions and a good laugh.It’s a story of inmates getting along. But that isn’t always the case, which is one of the main reasons why food privileges work on a case-by-case basis.
At Long Bay Correctional Complex, Reg Boys Bakery employs 45 inmates “who churn out 25,000 loaves of bread each week,” NSW Corrective Services said.
