Male offenders must be clean shaven and must keep their hair trimmed up the back of their necks and head. Hair must be neatly cut around the ears. Female offenders will not have extreme haircuts. Offenders who demonstrate good behavior can earn one 5-minute phone call every 90 days. Calls are monitored and may be made only to approved individuals.
Most meals consist of ground beef dishes, chicken, or pork.
The ground beef is bought with proceeds from the sale of prison-raised cattle. Although the prisons have more than 250,000 hens, they are used only for egg production. It is less expensive to buy chicken meat at market. The system raises and serves its own pork products. They will be allowed to attend school only if they earn that privilege through good behavior and satisfactory performance in their prison job.
