Crime and nourishment: An inside look at jail food in Bristol County

“In a lunchroom at the Bristol County House of Correction, inmate Gordon Davis scoffs at the menu on the wall. For the day’s lunch, it reads, “Chef’s Special (Chicken).” The “special” is three steamed chicken hot dogs, without buns, served over rice. It comes with two slices of untoasted wheat bread, unfrosted brownish-yellow cake, a scoop of flavorless mixed vegetables and a packet of mustard.“
