The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is making plans for more permanent improvements to food in prisons by starting a new culinary training program, hoping to do away with cold meals altogether.

— the mess halls close and prisoners are confined to their bunks and cells. Bagged lunches known as “johnny sacks” replace cafeteria meals.

“If it isn’t something you would want to eat for 90 days, then don’t serve it to your unit,” Douglas Sparkman admonished kitchen managers in. “When you make peanut butter sandwiches, don’t just put a blob of peanut butter and jelly in the middle of the bread and slap another one on top. Spread the peanut butter and jelly over the whole slice of bread.”

One man in prison sent photos of broccoli after The Marshall Project and Hearst Newspapers published their joint investigation into prison food in May 2020.advocates urged the legislature to boost food funding for the prison system

Cry me a River. Your in prison not a country club.

I don't understand how they get away with feeding people rotting food. The whole jail/prison system in Texas is rotten.

If they have bugs planned for our diets,one could only imagine what's in store for inmates.

Nah, keep giving them the pig slop. It's not supposed to be tasty.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time? I mean 🤷‍♂️ sorry.. don’t dare raise my tax dollars for your felon taste buds

Meanwhile homeless veterans go hungry. Most priorities are reversed: Criminals above citizens. Foreigners above taxpayers. Prisoners above veterans. Illegals above everyone else. Prove me wrong...

They deserve 'pig slop'.
