These photos show the reality of meals served in Georgia prisons. The quality is appalling, and the quantity wouldn’t satisfy a child, let alone an adult trying to survive in these conditions. Lunches, consisting of a single peanut butter or bologna sandwich, are often delivered in a single sack to serve 120 inmates, with many skipping the meal entirely because it’s not worth eating.
To meet basic nutritional needs, prisoners are forced to rely on commissary items, which are sold at highly inflated prices—sometimes triple what the same items cost at Walmart. This system exploits inmates and their families, making survival dependent on those who can afford to pay.
