Commissary
Yes it’s true inmates don’t have the best nutrition. They do get their carbs but their proteins leave something to be desired. So how do they get so big? Simple, commissary. Many prisoners either through barter, gambling, or cold hard cash from the outside get their hands on extra food from the in-prison store. Ramen cakes, which involve multiple packs of ramen and whatever else you can think of, appears to be an attractive choice for calories. Whatever can’t be bought is either stolen or smuggled in, it’s prison, what did you expect?
