They needed a food that was cheap, abundant and preferably one that the prisoners would find digusting. They did find such a food, and the prisoners did indeed find it repulsive and hard to eat. Prisoners who were able to make deals would usually try and arrange to be served this digusting dish less than 3 times a week. What is this dish? Maine lobster.

But I was going to say: I can speak from personal experience that Hare Krishnas are amazing cooks. To the above poster, I believe that story was featured on Neatorama a few weeks ago...

In Italy, there is a maximum security prison where the inmates work as waiters and cooks in a restaurant at the prison itself! I remember hearing that the food is so good there people reserve seats at the restaurant months in advance. A woman was also interviewed and she said that she didn't mind being waited on by a murderer. She said it added to the experience!
