Way OT: How much should it cost to feed a man in prison ?

[Doug]

I think $5 a day should suffice:

eggs cost about 10 cents

Breakfast= 3 scrambled eggs, 2 sices of toast, some potato product= $1

Lunch= Something like Bolagna sandwich and a bruised apple=$1.50

Dinner= something like prison meatloaf, old fruit, mac+cheese, milk= $2.50

$5 total

I bet it costs 5X that !

My brother is a radical, thinks prisons should turn a profit ! I say that would put unfair competion to legit businesses.

It would be tough on the local painting contractor to compete with prison labor rates, or whatever my bro would have prisoners do.

That is just to feed em. Imagine how much it costs for
the prison guards,chaplins,etc???

 

[Presto]

Prisoners should be forced into the vegetarian lifestyle.
There is no way $5 covers food costs per day. I think it is probable twice that. Like the part about the bruised apple. Toss in a brown banana to boot.

On one hand I can understand making prisons for profit. But on the other hand I can see more reasons to not make prisons for profit, namely it gives an incentive to put more people behind bars. Like I really want the coppers filling another quota.

Has your brother ever seen that movie with Tom Sellick where he gets set up by crooked cops for drugs and sent away? Yeah, it's hollyweird, but shyte like that happens everyday.

Presto! You are starting to become my favorite guy on
here! You have been saying stuff I have been saying for
years. Your cool my brother!!!! VERY COOL!! :toast: :nopityA:

Prisons aren't suppossed to make a profit, I'm sure none do !

My take is the guys in prison complete their time, get released, make them employeable, teach them a skill, educate them to HS level, something like that

Bro's thought that prisons break even is absurd, maybe not chew up too much tax money, but they must operate at a deficit.

 

[Doug]

If all other costs are placed in there, like electricity , gas etc... just pure food is needed, free stove, grill, etc.

A human being can easily be fed a a nutriotious diet on $5 a day, given no costs beyond the food cost, easy as pie ! No other bills $5 a person a day for food is not starvationn, just not luxury.

$5 day should feed a prisoner if done right

$35 week

I wouldn't starve on $35 a week food allowance, if provided refrigeration and stove, I could get by on $35 week for food, but tight !

 

[Highdaddy]

ramen noodles all day.....less than a $1

 

[donkeybucks]

What ever happened to just plain ol' bread and water?

 

[8ate]

they get all the protein-rich semen they can swallow..!!!

I think we ate worse than that in the Army.

 

[Teddykgb]

Im Doing Some Construction Work At A Jail In O.c. And They Offered Us Meals At Break And Lunch For $1.50 Per Meal, I Did It A Couple Day's Then Went Back To Brown Baggin It.
The Meals Do Cost "us" More Than $5 A Day But Rest Assured It Taste Like Crap.

 

[FairWarning]

In Michigan, the inmates have to pay roughly $35/day.

When factoring costs, don't forget insurance. This is a big one.

 

[RobFunk]

Why do any of you guys put thought into this?

Just curious.

There are private prison that do make a profit. As a matter of fact, many of the newer prisons that are being built today are by private, for-profit contractors.
