Do prison Governors eat the same food?.......no I don't think so.

I doubt the 54 Thb per meal is actually spent.....fish heads are

cheap. ????

“Although the department has been allocated a budget of only Bt54 per inmate per meal for three meals day, which includes both ingredients and fuel costs,

 

It sounds more the 54 baht are for three meals, sir. We often eat out for 40 baht a dish and it's great food. 

 

   Would it be 162 baht per day, the prisoners could have a very healthy diet.

54 baht a day, that's 18 baht per meal.

You can't even get a bowl of noodles for that at a street stall.

Yet, the department assures that everything is above board and that prison food is *not* substandard and that is all oh so nutritious.

Heck, they even issue "meal plans".

One can only surmise what these "meal plans" might look like:

 

MONDAY

Breakfast - fish head soup

Lunch - fish head soup

inner - fish head soup

 

TUESDAY

Breakfast - pork cartilage in watery rice soup

Lunch - pork cartilage in watery rice soup

Dinner - pork cartilage in watery rice soup

(to our Muslim inmates we serve sheep cartilage instead)

 

etc.

Read carefully before commenting.  It quite clearly states 54 baht PER MEAL for 3 meals a day.  So that 162 baht per day.  If I chose to do so, I could easily live on that on the outside.

Reading your post has given me a side spitting laughter session.

You clearly have not read all the posts on this thread, as i clearly stated in Buriram prison you get 2 meals a day not 3, and the food was utter sh++e, no way was any more than 15/20 baht used per meal.

Now here is something for you and others to think about....Government schools are allowed 20 baht per meal for school lunches, so there is no way on this earth prisons are allowed 162 baht per day, if you believe that, i got a bridge for sale.????

Whether I believe it or not is irrelevant.  I was simply quoting what they said.  I can also have a 'side splitting laughter session' about it as well, but my point didn't infer that I believed it, I was simply commenting on what they said.  Read, digest and then comment mate.

1/ Who believes a dinosaur?

2/ It is a disgusting habit of some posters to approve of any extra torturing of prisoners. It is up to the courts to pronounce a sentence, it is not up to the prison wardens to organise a little extra punishment.

Waiting for a "don't drop the soap" remark.....

 

 

Would you settle for a Ben Dover remark?

What do they expect steak and lobster sorry but they're in prison 

You're leaping to a wild inexplicable conclusion without establishing any discernible connection. In other words, you can come to any conclusion you damn well please by using such leapfrog logic. Hence, I was commenting on the lack of vitamin C in the prison menu, not the need for steak and lobster.
