@Cinemandy11 we eat what we know...just like America, we re not going to import nasty pastrami or burgers when our food is better and cheaper, neither do we have bad food...period. So it's that or nothing, we don't know nothing else....but hey, on the flip side, we re not going to prison because we cut somebody in pieces or trying to eat our own baby's brain......now, that's America...where people in jail deserve to not eat at all.....

What's the food like for French prisoners? Baguettes? Hot cocoa in the morning for example? Someone please answer, thanks.

they go in for petty non violent crimes and then the conditions causes psychosis over time and then when released they mug you and stab you to death over your wallet because they have been turned into psychotic monsters.
