Prison is a place for punishment. As such, Inmates are given bare necessities in most cases, including a very…unpleasant diet. Because of this, many inmates get very creative to obtain outside luxuries, or to mimic them, this includes a "better" meal.
So, in order to have food that isn't entirely consisting of this:
Inmates will spend their hard earned commissary funds to purchase items to make a variety of meals, such as pizza, ramen, pies, and Burritos. Todays jailhouse recipe is a burrito.
THE RECIPE
To make this recipe, you will need:
- 1 Large Bag of your favorite chips (Prison Commissary typically has things like Doritos or Cheetos)
- A bag of ramen
- **OPTIONAL: Slim Jims/Summer Sausage
The pricing of these items would vary by prison, for example, a 2015 Menu from ADX, Florence listed the above items as running a total of $4.60.

- Step 1: You start by crushing the Ramen and Chips. You can use rolling pins or anything, but inmates typically stomp on it until it's basically a powder
- Step 2: Add the crushed up ramen to the crushed up chips; add 2 cups of Hot, not boiling, water

- OPTIONAL STEP 3: Cut up the slim Jim's or sausage, usually done using an Inmate's ID Placard or vending card and add them to the mix.
- Step 4: Roll the concoction up into a burrito shape inside the bag

- Step 5: Let the burrito sit undisturbed for 30 Minutes, wrapped in a towel or under a mattress to seal heat in. Make sure to keep it out of view in case a Corrections Officer comes by
- Step 6: after 30 or so minutes, the meal is ready now. Unwrap, cut the bag back open, and enjoy! Maybe share it with your bunkmate or your gang.
- OPTIONAL Step 7: Cheese on top, usually liquid squeeze cheese.
I, and I hope many of us, have never been to prison, but life happens so that might change soon. If it does, keep this recipe in mind.
Thank you for joining me on this volume of Jailhouse cooking. If you dare, try to make it yourselves and post it. And remember, if you can't do the time…DONT DO THE CRIME!
