I must take exception the the poster child for incompetence this time, as I have been served food that is unsatisfactory for prisoners while in the field when I served in the Army. IIRC the living space for a convicted felon is mandated to be larger than the living space provided for a Cpl. in the US Army, and the MRE's that we lived on the the field aren't legal to serve to prisoner's. WHY, and I say again WHY do we care if someone in a state prison does or does not like the food served. I like the feeding system I heard about in Newfoundland. The CDF(Cananadian Defense Force) prison IIRC bakes all of the ingredents on the menu in a cake and cuts off a slice, there is no salt, pepper or other seasonings used, and no condiments available. either you eat it or not, no loss

Let Me clarify, I was stationed in Newfoundland, and heard about the Military Prison Camp from the Canuck's I was statioed with. I wasa not a guest, nor a host at this location. I liked the idea, and I heard that they sit in little cubicles like they use at the DMV during a drivers liscense test, so as to discorage conversation, and the give You a #10 coffe can for a latrine in your cell. You must also keep the can polished or lose it. No can, no pottie breaks, can not clean, no food.

I split a 8'X10' room with another Cpl. for a year in the ROK, and if we had been Spc.4 or below we would have been 2 sets of bunk beds with 4 to the room instead of one bunk apiece with the lockers as a divider. This included all of our personal efects, and our TA-50, as well as our Mnt. Bikes as you couldn't leave them outside. As active duty personel we had no rights, and should have been happy not to be living in a tent, but prisoners get better treatment, living quarters, food, and more rights, with only a fewer privledges than what we had. There are no laws protedcting us, and no ACLU to ensure that we get a better set of working conditions, because we are not on their radar screen. We also have proven that we would not fall into the "I did this for you now scratch my back bitch" game that convicts fall for.
