A year in the ACJ kitchen:
Forty workers at a time prepare food for more than 1,600 hungry men and women. Standing shoulder to shoulder, they transfer meatballs and applesauce to trays, then load those trays to a cart and send them up in the elevator.

The workplace has been at the center of numerous COVID outbreaks at the jail. Over the past year, when the unpaid workers get sick, the kitchen slows to a crawl and falls behind. For the incarcerated, food quality is somehow worse than it was pre-COVID.

Sources for this story said that food quality, unsafe working conditions, and unsanitary work practices partially stems from the jail’s contract with companies like Summit, but ultimately, they said the blame falls on the jail administration.
