So then by 8:00 am we are served breakfast which consist of eggs, beans, oatmeal, flour tortilla shell, one banana, and one milk on a plastic tray. You get 10 minutes to eat it and put the tray outside of your door. Then the nurses come to check your temperature to see if you have a fever or COVID-19 symptoms. In the process you get your lunch with your breakfast.
Which consist of two pieces of bread, two pieces of bologna, pretzels, four little cheese crackers and a little pack of sugar-free Kool-Aid. That is it until 8:00 pm tonight for dinner, which consist of more beans and rice, cornbread, a salad with just lettuce, no dressing, a piece of cake, no icing, and a little pack of Kool-Aid. A tray you would make for a little kid, serious.
They are getting $80,000 a year for us to feed us like this. You can have a TV in your cell if you buy for $200 a 15 inch and a radio. And you have to make a place for it to hang off of your bunk with shoe strings or sheets. You get clean clothes once a week, shower twice a week every three days.
Today they let us outside for one hour and then back in your cell. It is very crazy in here we go out every two weeks for an hour.
You have to be mentally strong or you snap. A lot of people have committed suicide, I love myself too much for that. That is why I pray for everyone. We will get through this together.
