State prisoners eat a lot of canned vegetables.
They also get a lot of apple sauce, spaghetti, beans and fruit cocktail.
A new database of state contracts includes a category for food purchased by the state Department of Correction.
It shows a menu familiar to anyone who ever attended middle school.
In general, the contracts show an attempt to be healthy, if not necessarily Atkins-friendly. The canned vegetables are undermined by contracts for chocolate pudding, all kinds of sugar, high fructose corn syrup and gelatin.
Inmates apparently get individual packs of ketchup, mustard and French dressing as well.
