Polk County Jail




Meals

Interview with Timmy

JM: How many meals did you get per day?
Timmy: 3 meals a day.

JM: How would you rate the food?
Timmy: By jail standards Polk Co food is not that bad. Pretty good actually. If you have never had jail food before then you will likely think it is terrible.

JM: Did you have any favorite/least favorite meals?
Timmy: Mexican food day is usually popular.

JM: Were there any other snacks offered outside of meals?
Timmy: You can purchase food snacks from the canteen weekly. There is just a ton of junk food available through the commissary. $30 a week you can live like a king and share with your cell mates.
