I think they shoot for 1800kcal per day but from my experience in county jail that's bullshit. More like 1600

    1600? Yikes. That's like bare minimal survival. I bet the big hefty people that go in there feel quite a bit of suffering until their bodies get used to so little food.

    Prison, in most countries, is intended to be vengeance. A bit of suffering is the point, unfortunately.

    At a 600% markup, with your .35 per hour wages.

    Yikes, a 600% markup would mean that these 16-ounce peanut butter jars would cost almost $20 each ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    are you serious? Or are you exaggerating a little?
