Federal prisons are generally known for having better food because it's been shown that's the best thing to prevent unrest.

I’ve always thought dinner and supper where the same meal. Was I wrong?

In Southern states, especially in years past, the last meal of the day was called "supper," and the mid-day meal was called "dinner." I'm 72. My grandparents used these terms.

What do you put catsup on when you're working with split pea soup, baked beans, salad, canned pears, and coffee?

I was wondering about the catsup with the Mexican soup and beef pot pie.

So, prisoner’s in the 40’s ate better than US public school students do now?

I was incarcerated in a county jail in Oklahoma for a couple months, and although it wasn’t as good as this…it wasn’t bad. Not much in the way of fresh fruits or veggies, you had to buy coffee and tea yourself, but they kept you full.

I don’t think it was only southern states. As you can see here it was also in California. Dinner was the largest meal of the day, usually served at lunchtime. Supper was a lighter evening meal.

I think rural people had largest meal at noon. City people had largest meal after getting home from work.

So as people become more urbanized dinner became synonymous with the evening meal.

Why ... coffee for dinner?

In the Navy, onboard a ship, there is a bell and it will tell you what meal is being served in the galley. I'd been onboard for weeks (maybe months) before I figured out that supper meant dinner. Honestly, I didn't give a shit. The bell rang, and food was in the galley. I was very Pavlovian by then. One day, it just clicked that they were calling 'lunch' "dinner".

And I think those dudes in Alcatraz ate better than we did ...

Lots of “healthy” options but I’m the most shocked at Mustard greens.

Yeah public school lunches are garbage. The regulations were supposed to make things better for students but just made portions lower while keeping the same disgusting, unhealthy food.

I’ve done both the day and night tours. The day tour was during feet week and the Blue Angels were doing low flybys right next to the prison. The night tour was cool, very different vibe.

What’s the difference between dinner and supper? I thought they were the same thing

Catsup is protein, Ketchup is a different recipe using tomatoes

Today, the food service would be privatized and they would spend .45 a meal for each inmate.

A few years ago, as part of a document review, I read some menus from Alabama state prison and they looked horrible - all starch and fat, very little fresh food, except sometimes collard greens.

If you go on the tour there’s a whole thing about how bad the food was. The dining hall was equipped with tear gas that could be released in a riot and they still rioted over the spaghetti.
