well as someone who has a done a little time out in so cal. i can tell you that the food is garbage, very little protein, and the MAX would be around 2000 calories a day. the food is very low quality, and within a week of being on the inside, you will start shitting green and it will stay green until you get on the outs. now, aside from that being said, i dont understand the size thing either. i never touched gear until i got out of jail, but i did work out almost every day in there, and i did not work out before that. when i got out my body was completely transformed. we did not even have weights we just did pushups and shit in the aisles or off the birdbath. anyway when i got out my girl said i looked like i had been on steroids the whole time, and a couple of guys i worked out got pretty big and ripped too. i think the enormous amounts of sleep we got had a lot to do with it, because i can tell you the diet is not ON..
