Meals are perhaps the most important aspect of prison life. They
keep inmates alive, both physically and emotionally, as mess halls
and common areas provide a level of social interaction in an
otherwise lonely situation. Albert "Prodigy" Johnson served three
and a half years in prison, and during that time his focus was on
his health--an almost impossible feat behind bars, where many
inmates often enter the prison system healthy, but leave with
diabetes and hypertension. Commissary Kitchen provides a deeper
perspective of what it's like to consume meals in prison. While
recipes are provided, Prodigy and co-writer Kathy Iandoli also tell
various anecdotes about situations in prison involving food. Meal
prep in prison is very limited, so while this work appeals to
anyone who has served time or is curious about prison life, it also
speaks to those who prepare food with limited access to various
cooking luxuries (such as college students in dorms). While the
work is informational, above all it humanizes the prison experience
in a way that has never been done before. Albert "Prodigy" Johnson
is a multi-platinum recording artist and member of the legendary
hip-hop duo Mobb Deep. In 2006, Prodigy was arrested for gun
possession and served a three-year prison term. In 2011, he
released his first memoir, the critically-acclaimed My Infamous
Life. Since then, Prodigy has continued to release both solo
projects and albums through Mobb Deep, touring worldwide. When he
isn't touring, Prodigy is traveling the United States, lecturing at
venues like MIT about the prison system and offering insight on
changing the quality of inmates' lives. Kathy Iandoli is a
critically-acclaimed journalist and author. Her work has appeared
in publications such as Pitchfork, VICE, Maxim, Cosmopolitan, the
Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and many others.
