Cash is illegal in prisons. And that means everything from tuna to stamps to cigarettes have their own unique value in a trade and barter market.
But ramen has quickly taken over as the most in demand products the prison system offers.
Watch this video to see how ramen took over prison economies and why it’s the default item for trade among inmates.
The Goods by Vox explains what we buy, why we buy it, and why it matters.

I've been out of prison for many years and still suffer from awful food anxiety. Spending every day feeling like I was starving was beyond anything I can describe. I still must have food on every floor at my house and I often get anxiety if I don't have immediate access to food. But at least our great nation protects us against cruel punishment.
how do you buy food in prison? do you use the money that you earned during prison labor? if that's the case, the prison is kinda training people to earn their own money and buy food with it. If so, it seems like a good idea to me.
@@marleyebanks328 Yes, personally I think we can skip the starving inmates to death part and just execute everyone who commits a crime. Much faster.

You cant afford commissary solely from working for the prison lol, it's not teaching them anything and the skills they gain inside are usually skills that they can't apply to real life due to their criminal status barring them from such things as being a fire man etc

I've seen inmates so creative with Ramen that it seems valuable. You can use it to make burritos, tacos, soups, pizzas, alternative to rice, and other side dish. Almost nobody eat it plain unless that inmate is fresh to jail or prison. Once you know what to do with it, it truly is amazing.

and more importantly "prison ramen"
Very yes

College kids and prisoners are very similar.
Both are held in a system in which they have to try their best to be the top.
The system they are held in is a business meant to make money.
They are in debt or have little to no money when they get out of their system.
And most importantly
They eat a lot of ramen.

@@adeelm9028 criminals terrorizing teachers and a flood of innocent students is scary

There's a TED talk about it. check it out.
Yup. I spent 10 months behind bars a long time ago. Ramen packets were $.99 each, and you could only buy a max of 10 at a time, and keep up to 15 in your property. It truly was the currency of everything. I had a cellmate who constantly played poker, and they would use soups and shots of coffee as betting chips.
When I got moved to ultra minimum security (which has cells with up to 8 inmates at a time), we would make one huge spread consisting primarily of:
Soups, bags of chips, refried beans, squeeze cheese. Then anyone would add what they wanted on theirs.
It was a moment of comradeship, when we shared, ate, joked, and laughed.
>ultra minimum security
might’ve as well just release them at this point
"ultra minimum security" thats just like an average school 💀
This proves my point that school is just prison but rebranded.
I can vouch and say Ramen and Stamps are definitely the main currencies in prison! I've sold a few prison meals in my day! 🍜

they cant. you have to order it from commissary menu.
In regard to jail food, they were only required to give you the daily minimum per day. So what you ordered in your commissary truly was the thing that supplemented the jail diet.

Prisons: *59 cents per meal = inedible*
Public US Schools: *It's showtime*
Facts
When I was in a large catholic boarding school in Sydney in the 1970's we were fed by the same catering company that supplied Paramatta jail - but the food we had was a lower grade than the prisoners.
Not only in the US, I think that's universal.
In my country they once put a prison to rent as an experiment and people literally fought to get it...
So glad to live in Germany.
In my country schools don't bother feeding you starting with middle school and above. If you wanna eat, you gotta go to the small cafeteria where you could buy 23 different types of dough with seasonings. Dough with jam, dough with sugar, dough with dough etc etc.
So can I destroy a prison economy by giving an inmate $30 worth of ramen?
Yes

The best job you can get in prison pays 15 cents an hour. Some pay even less.

yall might wanna take a look at that 13th amendment again. VERY interesting 👀
I got paid $1.50 an hour, but I had a gate card and went around the state putting office cubicles together. They have better paying jobs than what you say.

This whole ramen story is actually about cost shifting the cost of feeding inmates to the inmates themselves (and their families) as the prisons spend almost nothing to feed them to save money.
3:30 let's be honest. Aramark gives tainted food to college students as well.
Well at least if they break their sinks it can be fixed quickly

Just going to drop this here. I once served a few months and was Ramen rich. I knew a lot of origami and I knew how to make boxes out of commissary bags. I made so many boxes for Ramen I was like a bank. I never had to get a lot of money on my books because I always had Ramen to trade. I also re wrote letters for it.
police: why do you have all these instant ramen in your coat
me: to look rich in prison
When my dad was writing to me from prison all of his letters were talking about his food cravings. Specifically onion rings. When he finally got out I met him at a park and he just started eating ramen straight out of the packet. Watching this video made me think about what he was doing when he was locked up. Occasionally he sent me letters with cool artwork of my name saying his “friend” drew it for me. I’m wondering if his “friend” did it out of the kindness of his heart, or for some ramen. 🤔
Honestly probably out of kindness. You have a lot of time in prison. He probably spoke of you which prompted people who were bored to draw pictures for you.

I always keep a case or two of Romen noodles in my kitchen. Sometimes after paying all my bills and debts I'm left with zero dollars in my account. My safety net is my top Romen noodles, because I can eat for pennies on the dollar..
Same, mostly for emergencies though. They have a long shelf life, and can feed my son and I for months if need be. The way things are going now, I should buy more.
I never bought ramen when I was locked up, I would buy honey buns and trade for Ramen
with the conversion rate (in CT at least) it was an instant come up, and even more so on weekends

A prison in my state had to put in rules on how many items you can buy at one time and you may only have say 5 packs of ramen in your cell. If more than five are found the guards will take all of them. My little brother spent some time in there for DUI that caused damage. He was shocked at what people would do for ramen when they didn't have cash in their accounts. They also hand candy, crackers, and jerky. He was told that all prisons have different items in their jail stores. Also, the Ramon there cost like 1.50 and most thing cost more because it was a Prison for profit
"Cash isn't allowed in prison"
"You could sell your ramen for 2 to 3 dollars"
Which one is it?
Good catch lol
I'm guessing he's using commissary prices as an exchange rate, i.e. ramen can get you $2-3 worth of something else.
@@Sixtybolts commissary money isn't a physical form though, so how would you trade it?
@@pinchpeak5203 It's $2-3 of food etc from the commissary... like a can of Coke.
Imagine being allergic to gluten in prison...
@Andy The Wookie many people are intolerant
In Canadian prisons they have to accommodate for different diets(within reason of course). So kosher/halal, vegan/vegetarian, or allergies will get you a different meal.
@Alexander Heen I have celiac's but its much easier to tell people you are allergic (easier for waiters who may not know what celiac's is at restaurants and stuff). Good point.
@Alexander Heen You can be allergic, it is much rarer, but still possible. While I am celiac, my mother is allergic to gluten, the whole symptomatic and time of "effect", as well as the ways of detecting it are different. For example, both the enteroscopy and colonoscopy, as well as the blood tests showed that she was not celiac, but the less common test for gluten allergy was positive.
I guess if you told you are gluten intolerant in prison, you get beaten to death.
So a food designed to solve starvation is being used as a way to solve starvation.

I was curious about Finland and apparently in at least one prison the most popular products are curd (kinda like a thick yogurt) and eggs, apparently to get protein for weightlifting. They also get 4 meals a day which cost more to make than school lunches (and have 2800 calories per day), so they seem to eat pretty well. Oh, and they apparently can buy cigarettes in the store, that was a surprise.
You guys missed a big reason for Ramon being so useful in jail. The food has zero flavor so inmates put the Ramon seasoning on their food to make it edible

At your local market the lower grade ramen sells for 10 per $1.00 often. Prisons by in far greater bulk than grocery stores. So the profit margins for ramen sales at the State prisons is huge. The California food budget per inmate per day is $.90. This is why prisoners must have a staple to fall back on when the daily menu is inedible (which is often).
also generally, county jails food is on the smaller end, but in big prisons where people are actually doing real time, the breakfast/dinner servings are much bigger and are technically sufficient to keep you alive. this is HOWEVER very low calorie, low nutritious, and un-filling for the reason to depress you, and generally make you less energetic. by doing this they try to reduce the amount of violence in said prisons. this is actually a true reason.
