Allegheny County Jail

Is their any special meals or snacks for christmas or thanksgiving?

For both Thanksgiving and Christmas, the special meal would be for the lunch, and the only things special about them would be that you would get real turkey (not soybean based with various other fillers) and the dessert on the tray will be of a little better quality and difference (like pumkin pie for thanksgiving) this would be compared to the normal desert menu, which is two small vanilla cream filled sandwich cookies (like an oreo, but smaller and lesser quality), or a peice of cake (mostly vanilla) sometimes there is a little icing on top, or apple sauce, or apples, or apple crisp (apples with a brown sugar and flour crisp mixed in). Portions from tray to tray vary greatly, but in any case it is usually never enough, either in quantity or quality. Wayne Markham is the person in charge of Canteen Services who provides for the jail. Having experinced the food service there for a lengthy stay I can tell you first hand that the food service needs correcting.
***They want to call it a Prison and not a jail, but don't meet Prison requirements.
***As I said, the portions can be significantly different from to the next tray (ex. first tray might have a nice size peice of cake and the next a very small peice that has been turned upside down and smashed).
***They jail uses food as a form of payment for their workers (an extra tray each meal), for the ones who can not become workers, oh well.
***There are other things, but I will leave it at this for now.
