This article builds on
existing knowledge of inmate resistance by analyzing formerly incarcerated
women’s narratives about prison food.
Participants described trying to secure
extra cafeteria portions, hoarding food, smuggling and stealing food, and
cooking and eating in the cells—all to resist prison power and gain some
control over their lives by managing what, how, when, and with whom they ate.
These data shed light on prison life and suggest changes to food policy to curb
inmate resistance and bolster the rehabilitative potential of correctional
facilities.
