Albert Prodigy Johnson, who is a rapper and has traveled the world has also been in four prisons during his sentence. He says that prison food is terrible and I believe him. There is so much salt in the food and often inmates are often offered highly sugared drinks with the meals. Therefore, many leave with diabetes and hypertension that they did not have before. He has sickle cell anemia so he knew that he be very sick often if he depended on the prison food. I wanted to know more about his experience with sickle cell. Does he receive medicine for it, see a hematologist while in prison. How does he cope with it. He did say that exercise is necessity for him when coping with sickle cell and the prison does well in offering opportunities for that. He had never cooked before going to prison. He watched other inmates cook and improvised. Creating new recipes is a stress reliever and distracts him from his worries.
As for the recipes, I will not be trying any of them. Most of them just won't work for me as a diabetic and a vegetarian. A lot of what he does is takes the basic food that he is offered and tweek them with condiments that he is able to order, buy or receive from people on the outside. He has to deal with a lot of canned food as there is no way to keep anything refrigerated. So that pretty much eliminates frozen and fresh food which is much more nutritious.
If anyone is interested in prison reform, I think this should be required reading. Also, I would like to encourage the author to take some cooking classes to enrich his knowledge and enjoyment of his new hobby.
I received this finished copy by making a selection from Amazon Vine books but that in no way influenced my thoughts or feelings in this review. I also posted this review only on sites meant for reading not for selling.… (meer)
