Tiffany: Dinner was ok. But I found hospital food better. I felt bad for the inmates who where there for a while, most commented they did not get enough to eat. They were always hungry. Other than the milk provided, that was your only drink. Not everyone can afford the commisary for outside food. And, sometimes they offered you a unsweetened package of kool aide stuff. We got our water from the unclean water fountain in our rooms.
