Meals are perhaps the most important aspect of prison life. They
keep inmates alive, both physically and emotionally, as mess halls
and common areas provide a level of social interaction in an
otherwise lonely situation. Albert ''Prodigy'' Johnson served
three-and-a-half years in prison, and during that time his focus
was on his health -- an almost impossible feat behind bars, where
many inmates often enter the prison system healthy but leave with
diabetes and hypertension.

Commissary Kitchen provides a deeper perspective of
what it's like to consume meals in prison. While recipes are
provided, Prodigy and cowriter Kathy Iandoli also tell various
anecdotes about situations in prison involving food. Meal prep in
prison is very limited, so while this work appeals to anyone who
has served time or is curious about prison life, it also speaks to
those who prepare food with limited access to various cooking
luxuries (such as college students in dorms). While the work is
informational, above all it humanizes the prison experience in a
way that has never been done before.
