UPDATE: Administrator Responds to Female Inmates’ Complaints About Poor Food Quality at Grand Forks Jail
Bread and water what they want bread and water what they'll get
Sad😢
Don't break the law don't eat stave go for it save the tax payer money
I’m glad to see Jennifer Garcia & savannah “Milligan” miller walker in jail where they belong. L
Rip sam nelson let justice be served Lord shed light on these injustices help the helpless lord
Not only is it gross, it's unhealthy.
I wonder how many people not in Jail, busy working a job or two get THREE meals a day served to them with fresh fruit and fresh veggies? 🤔… I certainly dont get that privilege.
Sadly the majority of food issues In jail specifically says not for human consumption but that's what the inmates are giving an it's very in humane
My brother is in there he's schizophrenic he needs to be in a mental health long term living situation but instead he has been sitting there over 7 months refused medical appointments he needs for Mayo clinic since he was told he has cancer, his mental health is declining n they just keep pushing his court further away even putting him in isolation, the failure of north Dakotas system for mental health vulnerable adults in the legal system is appalling
Boooohoooooo! Stay out of jail and get a job! You should get bread and water, or your family should pay for tour food.
This has been going on for years and have not been resolved when I was there they told us the fridge was broken and told us to suck it upand drink our spoiled milk that was literally in chunks
I suppose escargot would be better?… 🤦🏻♂️ Don’t do the crime if ya can’t do the time.
Female inmates @ 00:31, I did a quick search on the first one…….something Garcia and she's in prison for torturing a 3yr child to death. Do me a favor and don't EVER show your face on anything, i don't care if your food is dog 💩.
Hi I'm blah blah and I committed a crime that got me locked up. THIS SUCKS!!! 😂
😂😂😂 surprise it ain't a holiday in!!!!! Should have made better life choices sweetheart, 😂
I'm glad you are reaching out to summit food services because people shouldn't have to eat food not made for human consumption. I also hope people keep this in mind before committing crimes.
Theres an easy way to avoid bad jail food.Anyone wanna guess what that is?
We don’t get no fruit and no fresh vegetables 🙄 I agree they should never be served spoiled food! But you’re in jail/prison! I can’t always afford fresh fruit! Why should you be served fresh fruit?
It's jail. What do you expect 🙄🤣 it's not supposed to be good. It's designed to make you not want to come back!
These people didn't care about their victims, let them eat their mattresses
Do the crime , Do the Time ! Quitcherbitchin ! All the more reason to “clean up your act “ . Pretty sure diet plan 🤣🤣🤣.
Facts! Every place, except prison they starve, posion, sabatage medications, anything you name it. Beltrami tried to tortue and kill us everyday
wtf they are human beings
