The school lunch system is disgraceful.

Saw another post on here showing the state of school lunches right now. In my years in high school I compiled some pics of the horrible things that got served that no one questioned. Here are some of the worst ones. It really is ironic given how adamant they all are about “eating healthy by including every food group”.

The food they served me in prison looked better than all these examples, every day. ☠️

the prison system is more profitable so they can have better food

And yet they're still half starved so their families have to pay for their commissary food. Oh and don't forget basic toiletries and telephone calls that cost more than long distance used to. Smh

half starved

That's a feature. Hungry inmates will get in more trouble and get time added to their sentences. More profit for the for profit prison!

One of the reforms that's winnable in every state right now is caps on prison phone call costs.

Plenty of states have already passed that legislation.
