Title: Prison diets
Post by: JBGRAY on June 07, 2011, 08:25:01 PM
I worked as a state correctional officer here in Florida for a few years before moving on to become a Probation Officer for a time.  For most of that time, I worked as Food Service Officer.  The state prides itself on saving money especially when it comes to its large inmate population.  Here's a sample menu for the day:
Breakfast: One "gulp" of horrid tasting fruit juice, sometimes flaccid bacon, a small scoop of eggs, an orange(every fucking day an orange with every meal), a scoop of grits, and a cup of milk.
Lunch:  A small sandwich, scoop of rice, scoop of old beans, an orange, bug juice...
Supper:  4 ounces of meat..a chicken thigh was considered a real treat...scoop of rice or potatoes, a fuckin' orange, mixed vegetables, a cookie or desert-alternative.  On some days if you had the right "cooks", they'd season up the foods taken from various flavored Ramen noodle packages.

There were some big strong dudes out there.  Many possessed what some on the street would call "ideal" physiques.  They would definately stand out in a crowd of normal people.  There was an exercise yard with free weights and simple machines, nothing fancy.  There was a canteen(store) that you could purchase things like sardines and beef jerky(the only items that had any sort of protein/nutritional content), but you were limited by how much of it you could get.  So how did a lot of these fellas build their physiques in such a way when they did not or have limited access to proper bodybuilding diets and drugs?

The prison was in the middle of nowhere.  I would live there for 3-5 days of the week at a time in a BAQ.  Nearest town was 20 minutes away, and there wasn't shit in it.  However, there was a nice gym nearby the BAQs for the officers that no one but apparently me really used.  I'd get the key from Central, bring my Boombox(yes a boombox), and lift.  I did the proper diet...protein equal to bodyweight, 3 cardio sessions per week, 5 balanced meals per day.  I lifted mostly for strength and fitness, and for vanity too.  I was decently sized and in great shape(never knew when you might get your head kicked in).  However, I did not have the size or strength of a lot of the bigger inmates who obviously got on by on a lot less, especially when it came to mealtime.  

Genetics are a bitch I guess.  Some have 'em, others don't.  I'm just wondering if the nutrition formula is wrong outside of professional bodybuilding.  I've always been meaning to go on a "prison diet" (with higher quality ingredients intended for non-inmate consumption, of course) with much less protein intake and lesser meals but still lift the same.  Ah, well.  Thanks for letting me ramble on.

Good post!

I posted something like this and people here claimed all these giant guys in prison have steroids smuggled in.  ::)  I call bullshit.

I'm interested in what you're saying, and want to know more.

 Exactly. People can grow just fine on well under 100 grams of protien per day.

 The protien scam is just another hustle to make idiots spend more money.

Because protein needs aren't as high as you think.

Depends on how much carbs you have in your diet...As carbs are protein sparing...Notice the prison diets ar all fairly high carb...
Title: Re: Prison diets
Post by: Firemuscle on June 07, 2011, 09:26:29 PM
 The high protein diet is only necessary if you are on steroids, because the steroids change the way that your body processes the protein and your muscles can use more of it.

 If you're a natural, you will literally just shit and piss most of the protein right back out if you eat a high protien diet.

 Also it's unhealthy. Hard on the kindneys and other organs. But I know most of you fellas don't really give a shit about your health so that isn't an issue for most people.

 Personally, I always got bigger results from eating a diet high in complex carbs. High protien never made much difference. If I eat a fat plate of pasta every day though that'll give me good gains. But when I was eating meat 3x per day it didn't really help me much at all. Just toxified my body a lot.
Title: Re: Prison diets
Post by: JBGRAY on June 07, 2011, 09:44:59 PM
I'm sure some steroids were smuggled in(the majority of contraband brought into the system comes from C.O.s), but it certainly was not rampant.  At least the prison that I worked at the biggest problem's were cell phones, prison buck, and marijuana.

I think the truth was already said by PJim...massive intake of protein is just a money scam. 

Obesity is an epidemic amongst those that live below the poverty line, not necessarily lack of food.  Why do you always see a glut of fast food joints within and around poorer neighborhoods?  WICs always been spent on soda, chips, and candy.  To feed a family of four from McDonalds would cost at least 25-30 bucks..I"m sure you could buy skinless chicken breasts, fresh vegetables, and a few pieces of fruit for less than that to feed the family of four for less.

I used to work in detention facility, and there were dudes who'd get locked up,and they'd used their time to work out...when they did their time, they'd be ripped up and muscular as hell. Whig was diff than when they went in...some were bulked up, but not as nearly as big as they were before.

Also saw a dude whose triceps in terms of thickness for their size were off the meter. And all he did was dips and handstand pushups off the wall...I asked what he did, and he said he would do the pushups very slowly and hold them in the mid range, and flex real hard.

I had talked to a nurse who had worked in Rikers island and she said that there are tons of ripped up diesel dudes there...

Depends, I've seen dudes who were 5'10 200, ripped, then there are the 6 footers who are a bulky 230 and over, usually big necks and chest and lats...big arms...they tend to big of a bigger bone structure, flat stomachs, thick triceps. They tend to have been there for a while---robbery, burglary, or lifers-murder, etc.

 That's true.

 My friend hooked up a fat eighth of weed in a jail and he said there was also heroin, meth, whisky and everything else.

 And that was just some jail. Not even a prison. In prison there's a LOT more shit.

 My the prison guards have their code of silence about what really happens in there. Break that code and you'll die in a tragic "accident".

California pens have had no weights since 1993- other than a few plates and dumbells in Fire Camp. The free meals offer marginal nutrition but you can supplement with powders and tuna from the commissary, along with extra eggs/beef from friends in the kitchen.

With a little effort and $75 a month, you can have a solid bodybuilding diet in the joint.

Actual prison diet:

Meal 1-  large bowl oatmeal or grits w/butter, two pints low fat milk, cheap wheat toast 3-4 slices, handfull of amino's
Meal 2-  2 cans tuna, 4 slices of cheap wheat bread, piece of fruit
Meal 3-  protein shake (medium sized) 30-40 grams (Champion Nutrition powder or something else decent from the commissary)
Meal 4-  1 or 2 medium sized, poor piece(s) of beef or chicken, rice or pasta, large salad, piece of fruit
Meal 5-  6-8 egg whites with 4-5 yokes, as a drink


This was an actual working diet. How do I know? I know.

As an employee of a california state prison I can guarantee that no one eats like this.

The average diet of a guy who has a decent amount of money on his books is alot of rice, ramen noodles, peanut butter, and pouches of tuna, clams, oysters, chili, sausages, and whatever they get fed for chow. Which is mostly garbage. The guys who can handle milk drink it for the calories and extra protein and I dont see too many aminos when im searching cells. The ones they get are garbage and cost a shitload of money. And I dont even think they can order protein powder right now from the canteen ( atleast last time I looked they couldnt )

Its not that great.

But most of the guys with alot of size are exercising 4 to 6 hours a day so they out exercise their diet if that makes any sense.

There arent many huge guys left because they dont have weights anymore but they have some dudes who are more ripped year around then most guys at npc shows nowadays.

And when Wesley Snipes gets out, he'll have a martial arts dojo/Spa called Kick Back & Relax...

I worked as a state correctional officer here in Florida for a few years before moving on to become a Probation Officer for a time.  For most of that time, I worked as Food Service Officer.  The state prides itself on saving money especially when it comes to its large inmate population.  Here's a sample menu for the day:
Breakfast: One "gulp" of horrid tasting fruit juice, sometimes flaccid bacon, a small scoop of eggs, an orange(every fucking day an orange with every meal), a scoop of grits, and a cup of milk.
Lunch:  A small sandwich, scoop of rice, scoop of old beans, an orange, bug juice...
Supper:  4 ounces of meat..a chicken thigh was considered a real treat...scoop of rice or potatoes, a fuckin' orange, mixed vegetables, a cookie or desert-alternative.  On some days if you had the right "cooks", they'd season up the foods taken from various flavored Ramen noodle packages.

There were some big strong dudes out there.  Many possessed what some on the street would call "ideal" physiques.  They would definately stand out in a crowd of normal people.  There was an exercise yard with free weights and simple machines, nothing fancy.  There was a canteen(store) that you could purchase things like sardines and beef jerky(the only items that had any sort of protein/nutritional content), but you were limited by how much of it you could get.  So how did a lot of these fellas build their physiques in such a way when they did not or have limited access to proper bodybuilding diets and drugs?

The prison was in the middle of nowhere.  I would live there for 3-5 days of the week at a time in a BAQ.  Nearest town was 20 minutes away, and there wasn't shit in it.  However, there was a nice gym nearby the BAQs for the officers that no one but apparently me really used.  I'd get the key from Central, bring my Boombox(yes a boombox), and lift.  I did the proper diet...protein equal to bodyweight, 3 cardio sessions per week, 5 balanced meals per day.  I lifted mostly for strength and fitness, and for vanity too.  I was decently sized and in great shape(never knew when you might get your head kicked in).  However, I did not have the size or strength of a lot of the bigger inmates who obviously got on by on a lot less, especially when it came to mealtime.  

Genetics are a bitch I guess.  Some have 'em, others don't.  I'm just wondering if the nutrition formula is wrong outside of professional bodybuilding.  I've always been meaning to go on a "prison diet" (with higher quality ingredients intended for non-inmate consumption, of course) with much less protein intake and lesser meals but still lift the same.  Ah, well.  Thanks for letting me ramble on.


Dude.. Delete this thread ,before GH comes in here and accuses the C.O's of smuggling steroids and needles up their assholes for the inmates..

Ya'll are missing one big point.  They don't have anything else to do all day, so there bodies have plenty of time to rest.  In fact, if they are not working out or eating, they are asleep.  

Therefore, their caloric needs are not that of a normal person.

Sorry, but by the theroies of "they have nothing else to do but lift, eat and sleep and have naturally high testosterone levels" then college students would be the biggest people around.
ahahaha. Why do you even bother answering to these threads... it is obvious that these guys don't know shit... prisions are one of the places where more steroids are smuggled. For most of the criminals is the best time to train, eat, sleep and juice.

As an employee of a california state prison I can guarantee that no one eats like this.

The average diet of a guy who has a decent amount of money on his books is alot of rice, ramen noodles, peanut butter, and pouches of tuna, clams, oysters, chili, sausages, and whatever they get fed for chow. Which is mostly garbage. The guys who can handle milk drink it for the calories and extra protein and I dont see too many aminos when im searching cells. The ones they get are garbage and cost a shitload of money. And I dont even think they can order protein powder right now from the canteen ( atleast last time I looked they couldnt )

Its not that great.

But most of the guys with alot of size are exercising 4 to 6 hours a day so they out exercise their diet if that makes any sense.

There arent many huge guys left because they dont have weights anymore but they have some dudes who are more ripped year around then most guys at npc shows nowadays.

Absolutely correct. And just as in the real world, the average person does not eat anything like a bodybuilder. It is the rare exception to eat like this.

lol- guys- its not rocket science- dead time + calorie deficit + workout 2-3 hours a day= ripped.

simple.

the reason there are not a lot of ripped guys anywhere is because we over eat. protein, calories you name it.

put yourself on a prison diet, workout 3 hours a day and get back to me in 2 months.

having also worked at a prison in california, i will tell you right now that NO they dont smuggle in steroids. there isnt a big enough demand for them compared to other drugs. And the risk to dollar ratio just makes it not worth it. yes there are many guys in prison who are ripped and shredded, but mostly the black guys, which goes to show that it is mostly genetic.  all the hispanics and whites look just like normal fit guys who workout. and yes, you can order a lot of stuff from the catalogs, but all i saw were liver tabs and amino tabs, made by universal.  there were no protein powders in the catalog at the mainline (bigger state run prisons).
   now, the private prisons in california (ccf) do let you order all sorts of products directly out of the catalog from nutrition express.  you can order anything from  creatine to most type of protein powders, but these prisons are for "short timers", people who are being released soon.

  Yes, they got rid of the weights back in the mid 90's. Arnold tried to bring them back when he was the governator, but he had no luck.

 In all seriousness. Some guys who are locked up REALLY DO eat their own cum after they jack off to get extra protein. I shit you not.
