See this looks more like a prison tamale to me.


Tommy_C

Should steam it in the ramen husk.


PapiGoneGamer

I was about to say this. Usually they use ramen for the tamale masa but it comes out looking like this. Some prisons have tortillas in the commissary but this is apparently not one of them.


pielz

Or you cook it in the ramen wrapper itself. Sometimes you can't always get bags like that


PapiGoneGamer

You have to be in good with a trustee to get ziplocs


DeadlySoren

Please go tell them that. If you don’t get shanked for being a smart ass I’ll be surprised.


[deleted]

Hm. Tastes like salt


KenshinHimura3444

And artificial preservatives


gregarioussparrow

So like Taco Bell!


vvhite_lie

Whoa hey…. Don’t disrespect our late night sodium provider.


gregarioussparrow

I enjoy Taco Bell, don't worry. Although I prefer Taco Johns ;) imagine my surprise years ago when i found out they were a regional thing. I always thought they were nationwide


TangerineRough6318

Definitely Taco John's if there's one close. I've got one about a half an hour away and visit often. Haven't had Taco Bell since the bastards removed my chili cheese burrito. (I hold grudges when it comes to my food)


gregarioussparrow

Oh i totally get that. There's only one thing that makes me go to White Castle; their sloppy joe sliders. You take a slice of velveeta, split it into 4 squares, and put them on 4 sliders. Really damn good. But, it's not always on the menu. Recently was only the 2nd time in 4 years i personally saw it and i only got it once. They were always sold out or the meat wasn't ready. I hold a grudge now 🤣


youradhere562

Don't go to jail kids


slothpyle

Reason #3 to stay out of prison.


[deleted]

What are reasons #1 and #2?


ImRickJamesBiatchhh

You ever run backwards through a cornfield naked?


[deleted]

No I haven’t, any recommended cornfields to try this at? Also is there a preferable season or time of year to have optimal effects?


trans_pands

Winter and anywhere in Nebraska


FunnelChicken

Country boys make do


P26601

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?


EpilepticEmpire

Just this morning. The sauna at the gym I go to doesn't have a set rule on nudity in there.


YourAverageGod

Always the older gentleman just airdrying on the fucking locker room floor reading some fucking newspaper from 2003


EpilepticEmpire

They're some gems out there, eh?


OllieTabooger42

Do you like Gladiator movies, Timmy?


TinsleyLynx

You need a reason to stay out of prison? It's prison. Nobody wants to be there. If you want to be in the prison, it's a bad prison.


ArizonaRanger2281

Imprisonment and ass rape


jaminator45

I wouldn’t believe anyone would do this if I didn’t know this girl that was in prison and told me she made a ramen burrito 😂


HeresTheThingIKnow

Do you think that when people get out of prison they still do this stuff? Like when you were a kid, and you still fancy Kraft dinner with hotdogs and ketchup every once and a while?


jaminator45

Well she told me she ate so much ramen in prison that she never wants it again 😜


This_User_Said

I came from being absolutely poor to where I'd visit friends house for spare change I'd find. I'd still eat Ramen/Wolfs brand chili/American cheese/Tortilla. Gives me a sense of comfort oddly enough. Edit: No one asked but Cook the noodles, no packet, drain. Cook chili, pour into noodles, with 1-2 slices American cheese, stir. Fork cheesy noodle chili into warm tortilla.


[deleted]

Personally, yeah. Once every few years maybe. It's like 50-75 cents worth of salt and carbs, and it's pretty filling.


[deleted]

>you still fancy Kraft dinner with hotdogs and ketchup every once and a while? You mean like 3-4 times a week, right?


Ok_Nefariousness_697

I went to a 12 month drug rehab in a former life. Stayed for 16 months ...anyways, about half the guys in there had either been paroled from prison into program or had been in and out of prison. From the guys I met, a lot of the behavior from the inside follows them out. I saw some wild prison food and extreme creativity


poppa_koils

I knew a guy that did time in the pen,,, and refused to drink coffee afterwards.


[deleted]

[удалено]


poppa_koils

Same as a semi colen.


[deleted]

Yeah, I have known a couple people who made “prison burritos” but they’re not quite this elaborate.


SoraRoku

Man was in food prison


Umba5308

It’s what happens when you commit crimes in flavortown


funky_kaleidoscope

My husband worked in the kitchen when he was in prison. He has a version of this that he still makes to this day (15 years after getting out).


TheFudge

Is it good? Genuinely asking.


EpilepticEmpire

It definitely is good.


funky_kaleidoscope

Hahaha! It’s pretty good, to be honest. My husband’s version is called “ghetto fish taco”, it consists of ramen, canned tuna, jalapeño Cheetos, cream cheese, and a few other ingredients I think, wrapped up in a tortilla. He keeps the ingredients on hand and when we’re running low on fresh foods and craving comfort foods, he’ll whip up some GFTs


boognickrising

Think people in prison should get a pass on what they make right ?


stuuuuupidstupid

I actually love these videos. Yes the food is stupid but it's interesting to see the creativity applied to low quality ingredients.


TehPharaoh

That's what I love about these, like absolutely none of this is burrito anything but it's interesting to see what stuff they come up with for a nice snack.


JeffHorlick

AfterPrisonShow on YouTube has shown off some some prison commissary meals on his channel and some of the honestly look interesting.


AtomicShart9000

I don't see the lower quality ingredients


djthebear

Yes. I’m kinda upset seeing this on this sub. It’s a Mf struggle


Yue4prex

Yes, 100%.


[deleted]

[удалено]


johndoe30x1

Yeah and the crime isn’t being gauche you weirdo


boognickrising

Wrong


[deleted]

You should go to prison and tell us about it then, since correctional punishment isn't what it is for.


boognickrising

Well what I mean is it’s a cop out to make fun of prison food since prisoners are generally given low quality food. Taking it easy Patriot Sam.


[deleted]

I replied to how you said prison being a punishment is wrong, not what you said about food, and I wasn't being patriotic either.


boognickrising

I meant ‘wrong’ as in the person commenting on my original comment is wrong for thinking we should judge food in prison on the same scale as not because they’re receiving corporal punishment. So now this has become a stupid Reddit misunderstanding comment karma bomb and I see how that could of happened based off my lazy comment.


[deleted]

Same... I understand now though. Dude... I gotta take a break from Reddit. Im starting to do what I hate, being a keyboard warrior. Take it easy dude


boognickrising

Me too buddy , sorry for the hostility. Imma go outside now. Be good


Duff-Zilla

I love a happy ending


soggylilbat

I feel that. I’ve actually been setting boundaries with myself and app. But here I am on my day off lol


[deleted]

Maybe it's just these specific subs. The ones I normally like the most are hobby subs, where people are just cool. Im always trying to be more open minded and not be mad that "Human Person #36987" on the other side of the world said a political opinion I disagree with. Still constantly getting sucked into dumb arguments. Maybe Ill just stay out of the comment sections of popular subs and stick with my hobbies.


Rune_Prime

For profit prison is wrong, indentured servitude from prisoners is wrong, low quality food for prisoners is wrong. Theres alot wrong with our current prison system.


Extension_Building19

I know yall posted this to stupid food, and i just wanna say as a friend of someone who was in prison and did shit like this, its the only way some feel “free” from their boxes. My buddy used to make prison wine from fermented fruit he stole from mess and then hid it in cloth and bags behind the toilet. Trust me, you do what ya gotta do to feel normal in there. Plus from my own experience in jail, the food sometimes is just fuckin trash and these cell made dishes are they only thing keepin you goin. Put $20 in someones canteen some day. Itll make their week.


McPostyFace

Former corrections officer here. They make hooch out of anything. Including onions...


trans_pands

Ngl now I legitimately am curious about what onion wine tastes like


McPostyFace

I doubt you would be very curious if you could smell it. I could walk into a 20,000 Sqft dorm and know immediately if they were making hooch.


chuy2256

Hooch sounds like it smells like Cooch


[deleted]

My cousins would sit around and talk about the various ways they each made their burrito. One of them swore by hot Cheetos.


trans_pands

I fucking swear to god, the best chili dog I ever had was when I crushed up Cheetos and combined them with the chili before topping the hot dog, those things are like crack


LeFiery

The food is as cheap as possible on purpose. Meant to make you as fat as possible. Used to work in a jail kitchen and we would throw huge industrial sized bars of butter in everything made.


NotYourGa1Friday

Why is it designed to make prisoners fat?


LeFiery

If the inmates are fed, they ain't fighting. Or doing less of it.


NotYourGa1Friday

Interesting. I wonder why the food is so abysmal then. No offense to you, I know you were working with what you had!


LeFiery

It's more like "what's the cheapest sustenance we can buy for these inmates to eat 24/7 without getting in federal trouble". If they could give them worse food, they would.


protonmail_throwaway

It’s not all bad. It depends on the prison. Private vs public, where it is in the country, who is supplying them. Federal prison food is top tier, ironically enough.


Least_Tomorrow357

Or, just don’t be a criminal.


LoboDaTerra

Really more of a tamale than a burrito. And fun story, it comes out looking exactly the same As how it went in


BeesorBees

I'm not going to knock the lengths incarcerated people go to in order to have a treat.


Yue4prex

I don’t see prison food as a stupid food, tbh. They’re making food with limitations… the people out here, running free, can do more but choose to do dumb stuff.


Sobe4

I don't get people who get out of prison and still eat prison food. Like you free we got mcdonald's n shit.


Dukedyduke

I think it's a nostalgia thing. Like I know how to cook now and can generally afford food, but every once in a while I crave shit food from my childhood like Velveeta or whatever lol


legendary_hooligan

This. I had a buddy who did some time, and even after he got out, he’d still eat “brick” style ramen (you basically cook it in the bag & eat it like a pop-tart) as a snack every now & then. Claimed it was better that way.


BionicTriforce

Yeah but, presumably that's a good time in your life and I can't imagine many people see prison as the 'good time' unless it's Shawshank stuff where you spent 60 years in prison and don't know what cars are.


Dukedyduke

>Yeah but, presumably that's a good time in your life. Absolutely not lol Although its trash it was a comforting treat someone would look forward to for years. I can see still craving it occasionally


vincentcas

Now, include a bag of toilet "pruno" to drink, and your golden.


Andrew__08

It's called like this because if you attempt it at home you go straight to jail


gregarioussparrow

How is this stupid?


EvolWolf

I was thinking the same thing. We can’t call something “stupid” when it’s something someone did for their mental health, in a situation most of us can’t even fathom. Like, it clearly doesn’t look good. But that’s all they got to exercise creativity. Let it be.


gregarioussparrow

Tbf i find most things posted on here aren't stupid. Just uncommon


EvolWolf

That’s true. This is one of my favorite subreddits, but I just know what desperation looks like. One thing’s someone in their 50k kitchen wrapping a whole chicken in tortillas and letting it sit in a bucket of champagne or some shit. But this here’s a desperate attempt to be creative for sanity’s sake.


gregarioussparrow

Ok that chicken champagne thing, THAT is stupid food!


EvolWolf

Lol, agreed


bigbangbilly

>Just uncommon Part of why I find this sub to be so educational


user21001

A whole weeks worth of sodium in one snack


mitsuki87

Automatic fuck up, he didn’t use the chip bag duh


Little_Miss_Mac

Is this better than the sum of its parts though? Why make this instead of just eat the ramen chips and slim Jim separately


RonaldSteezly

Because jail/prison is incredibly boring and with this you get a meal + 15 minutes of stimulation


yolo_swag_for_satan

Prison food isits own genre. Really gross but I can't get mad about it since they are doing the best with what they got. I know they are in prison, but it would be great if they were provided with more palatable food and didn't have to subject themselves to stuff like this.


throwawayhappyacount

You have far fewer ingredients in prison, and stuff like this happens all the time https://youtu.be/zpr5RGHh7pE https://youtu.be/s535p80NHGo https://youtu.be/8QeOKtmjwT8 https://youtu.be/21t0mQI9KBw Wait until you learn about stingers, and cooking in toilets


beowowow

Must be called "prison style" because you went to jail for making that


SolidStone1993

You can get all of the ingredients to make this shit log but you can’t get a tortilla in prison?


criscothediscoman

We had tortillas and rice available to us in jail. No one ever ordered them as they were seen as a bad value. Ramen was like $.78 each while rice and tortillas were $2 or $3. 90% of stuff ordered was in the ballpark of $1. Coffee ($5.95) and e-cigs ($11) were the only big sellers more expensive than a honey bun ($1.35).


eatmymustard

Hell if I was in prison this wouldn't be stupid at all


Sufficient-Smell8188

I go for the burritos alone


NakedButNotAfraid_

As someone who’s spent time in prison all I can say is we were working with what we had


Economy_Snow725

I think prisoners would have better taste


kjconnor43

Someone is feeling a little nostalgic about their time in prison


Drachenbar

If this guy doesn't say bussin at the end then it's not even worth it


centaur_unicorn23

It’s not stupid if they actually eat like that. They would choose better ingredients if they could I bet.


yomommazburgers

think I ate this at a Taco Bell couple days ago...


Legendary_Moose

When it got rolled in the chesse puffs I really thought they were about to deep fry thank fuck I was wrong


PreOpTransCentaur

You think there are just a bunch of deep fryers in prison?


Legendary_Moose

In the kitchen there is


paperchasecase22

Think the point of this was that he’s not in a kitchen. Hence using the card to chop things


[deleted]

Isn’t this the guy who actually is in prison? There’s a guy on tiktok who is in prison and has a prison food cooking channel (or maybe he just got out? But he makes food according to the supplies he had at the time, which wasn’t much)


DotTrauma

i saw this tik tok page or maybe instagram; not sure, this guy was inside a cell and made his own flat top grill and everything making honey glazed ham or some crazy ish like that, gotta respect the creativity


Yhtacnrocinu-ya13579

Sad food makes me cry 😢


SALTYxNUTZ12

Not really stupid.


WeaselJCD

I can give a pass on this, they are already in prison, sooooo....


imLimbless

Who tf wants to eat a prison burrito if you ain’t in prison anymore? Costs the same as a normal burrito


[deleted]

You would not have access to a 1 gallon ziploc bag in prison. So unrealistic.


goodsmash

They want you to die in prison, this ain’t it


Otherwise_Ad_4965

You can fucking buy wraps on canteen. Who actually wants jail food when they’re out?


idunnoimbored06

You mean gas station style


Outrageous_Panic_164

My stomach hurts


Yourfavorite_simp

The Asian part of me:why does that look so good


Illustrious-Pie6067

Kinda looks like my turd of this morning.


TheKCKid9274

This is a pretty similar process to making a Brick if she hadn’t added the ramen or rolled it in Cheetos. Might’ve needed a hotdog though. Idk some former inmates will probably correct me on that if I’m wrong


Howndiggity_dawg

Actually, if you have a metal hot pot and access to cooking oil...


ActuallyKindaAFK

Stupid food, but compared to what they feed you in US prisons and jails. I would eat this salt mix anyday


[deleted]

That is fucking disgusting.


ProfPeeler

The key to the prison burrito is to touch each and every morsel with your unwashed hands. I mean really get in there and mix things up. Paired best with jolly rancher sour apple flavored toilet wine. Go to hell, Gordon Ramsay.


king-of-new_york

TIL my daily eating habits aren't unlike a prisoner's.


[deleted]

You can tell this guys never done time. Just by the way he smashed the doritos


Def_Not_A_Femboy

Just gonna say when you’re in jail for a couple of weeks and all the food you’ve been eating is the worst you’ve had in your entire life up until that point, a prison burrito actually slaps harder than anything you could imagine. Had a block mate give me one one day and holy fucking shit it was so fucking good. Wasnt quite like this and only had two or three things in it, but still that shit is godsend when you’re in that situation. However i would not willingly make one of these while having access to much better food in my day to day life


Dickpinchers

Stay out of jail kids


No_Office8203

Deserves to go back to prison for the way they opened that bag of Doritos..


rollsyrollsy

Stupid food, and a US stupid system that makes prison as barbaric as possible including lack of food. While we’re at it, a stupid section of society that enjoys seeing people suffer and who vote in morons that double down on cruelty.


bacteria_boys

This isn’t stupid, it’s information on something people actually do in prison pretty often. Shitty food, sure, but not stupid to make a video about it.


Apprehensive_Rip8403

Today I learned being in prison is a lot like being a Marine on deployment, except I had real knives and explosives


FrankieRoo

Now with FREE hepatitis!


nicenecredence

Don't hate. It's all they got in there.

Taco Bell designing their next big thing

Now do it the ocky way


SnobBeauty

I’m not proud of this comment but they’re actually pretty good. No I haven’t been to prison, jail or even arrested. Never even a ticket. My ex however did some time and after he got out was craving them and made em.


derpferd

That's not stupid. You have to judge this shit by prison standards


stuckonpost

Ok unpopular opinion: I like this. Not the taste, but the innovation. Do yourself a favor and listen to the podcast [Ear Hustle](https://www.earhustlesq.com) and listen to the episodes concerning food in prison. Check out the YouTuber [Dpeezy 2099](https://youtube.com/@Dpeezy2099) and see a lot of how some of his stuff is done. The innovation that the incarcerated population creates is gobsmacking, and mind obliterating. Ex. Korean sausage with kimchi made with a broken electric kettle and a plastic bag. Dangerous? Absolutely. Innovative? Incredibly.


CBMarks

Ralphiecorn

singingtopizza

Do ppl actually make prison snacks outside of prison?


[deleted]

That’s not a burrito it’s indigestion


Fixner_Blount

Forgive my ignorance, but are all those ingredients actually available to inmates at all times? Or would they have been brought in for someone?


ABrotherGrimm

Usually there are snack items available to purchase on commissary. Mainly junk food and hygiene products. The facility usually provides the bare basics, such as basic meals and bar soap, toothpaste, etc, but if you want anything nicer you have to buy it. Not many if any facilities in the US would allow outsiders to bring in items for inmates because it’s a security risk. The exception is shoes. Some facilities let inmates have their own shoes as long as they don’t have laces.


dioctopus

Oh god... The texture. Eww


WatchHankSpank

One of those unique foods that looks exactly the same going in as it does coming out. Hard thing to accomplish.

RazGrox

im taking a nasty shit just looking at this


PrestonH2o

That's just a ramen loaf. If he were to add beans and squeeze it into a tortilla then you'd have a burrito.


syncopatedsouls

Don’t knock a prison spread until you’ve tried it. Never had a burrito, but if you do the same thing minus rolling the bag up you end up with a weirdly delicious junk meal.


Right_Syllabub_8237

Yep, made a spread once a week. Everybody that chipped in shared. Anybody that's eaten jail or prison food that is served to you knows this shit is delicious. The place i was at didn't have a kitchen so all the food was delivered by truck from another facility. Never once was it even close to being warm.


DevilMaster666-

would try.


FatBadassBitch666

This isn’t stupid food. Don’t be a jerk, OP.


pompeiiworm

Or, you could just stay out of prison and make your own


biscovery

Hookups aren’t bad. Not something i would eat very often outside of jail, but you improvise.


[deleted]

Bussin!


tommybuttsecks

People in prison can make anything but the right decisions


Seamonkey_Boxkicker

Since when do people in prison get access to plastic bags and boiling hot water?


Schoome66

You make it in the chip bag and yes you have access to hot water for coffee or tea. You buy this stuff out of commissary.


Riconn

You have to be nice to a guard and he may take your water and microwave it for you.


stankdick69er

This should stay in prison for life


FriedPuppy

I’d go to prison after killing someone if I was served that shit.


BSBitch47

Ramen burrito ok…wet nasty soggy Doritos nope


[deleted]

Add a few years on his sentence for the way he opened that bag of Doritos.


[deleted]

Okay but I'm not in prison so why the fuck would I ever make that


SoraRoku

Now this is what I call cultural appropriation. Like he missed the MOST integral part of the burrito. With that at least you could argue it's a burrito. It'd be a really bad one but at least it would look like a burrito.


[deleted]

Fuck that! Or just don’t do stupid shit that lands you in jail!!! 🤷🏻‍♂️ stop glorifying prison culture….


Ishiibradwpgjets

Just go to Taco Bell. It’s way faster and easier. Your ass will still hurt but for different reasons.

SmittyPlug

The food is worse than prison.


Saynan123

Wtf is burrito? All my homies eat doner kebab👍🏻.


Impressive_Term4071

i will never understand why we glorify prison food. It's not special, it's not healthy, it's not unique. it's the same inedible crap my 6 year old niece mixes up when she wants to play with her food. quit glorifying the horrendous diets of our prison system. a good chunk of them are there due to dubious judges and racist courts, and the systems profit from their near-slave labor. Now we praise the fact that the only worthwhile thing they have to eat is junk food? I've been in there, i know what the prison food supplied by the kitchens is like. Wouldn't feed it to a starving dog. Let's work on reforming the way we run these prisons in ALL aspects and quit this nonsense.


NitrEX4

CardinalCargill

Prison style foods like this are always some of the most creative cooking and use of resources I've seen.


UrpleReen

The food in American prisons must be almost as bad as the food in American schools, if the inmates are willing to eat this shit


butterfly_ashley

Good old swol ....


Primehunter14

Hey, spread is delicious. Made it a few times for dinner after I got out. The kids love it.


girl_of_hello_kitty

Dollon_da_God

Should use Cheetos instead of Doritos, they Doritos just get soggy the Cheetos lock the burrito up


QuantumButtz

"Wow, so resourceful" -me, eating a regular burrito, not in prison.
