"That's all the food that we were supposed to be eating. There goes our chicken right there."
Chicken patty day
"At the medium, Beaumont medium, when it was what you were supposed to get to eat, you're going to get to eat. So when it was chicken patty day on Tuesdays... boy, did you look forward to that day?"
"I can't remember a single day in the two months that I was at the low that we got a chicken patty, an actual breaded chicken patty."
Where it went
"You'd see them walking and coming back from the chow hall, and they'd be dragging their leg, and this stuff would be full all down inside of their leg."
"Now, you bring the chicken back, and they would sell it and cook it on the grills that they took the coils for out of the roof."
"We don't have a heater. We got grills, though."
Paying for free food
"So the food that I was supposed to get at the chow hall for free, now I got to pay $20 or $30 for a plate of chicken tacos or chicken quesadillas."
"And that's just how it runs in prison."
What I said (RYAN STATEMENT)
- Chicken patty day at the medium was a day you looked forward to.
- At the low, the food left the chow hall and came back as plates for sale.
- A plate cost $20 to $30.
