- That was clean, dude!
- This is good!
- I was severely mistaken by saying this was not that bad.
- (PvF) We've got a fascinating
Try To Keep Eating challenge for you today.
So today, we are trying some of the ingenious recipes
that inmates have created in prison.
- Oh, okay.
- Oh heck yeah, I was on Prison Tok,
I know this game.
- Wait. - Why? (laughs)
- I'm kind of excited.
- (PvF) To win, you must keep eating each item
while continuously watching the video of how it's made.
If you stop eating or look away from the video at all,
you'll lose a point, and there is a punishment.
- Heck yeah, I'm down.
- Oh no! - (PvF) No prize.
- No prize, only pain, yeah! - Oh my. (laughs)
(thunder crashes) - Yeah!
Oh, this looks dope! - Oh.
- Yo!
(Danny gasps) - Okay.
- (PvF) So we have perhaps the most notorious
of all the prison food recipes,
The Brick, jailhouse burrito, chi-chi and many more.
- It looks delicious.
- What is in that? (whispers) What is in that?
- I'm ready. - Alright.
- (man) So I'ma show you all how to make
a Florida prison brick. - Okay.
- Who is this man? - He said a Florida.
- It's hard! - Yeah, what the hell?
- Why's it hard? (laughs)
- Oh my God, I'm dropping it everywhere.
- This is good, honestly. - This is surprisingly decent.
- (man) Now you wanna make sure that you're not popping
the ass end of the bag, because you need this bag.
- (laughs) The ass end of the bag.
- (laughs) He definitely said the ass end.
- (man) So start mixing it after the first one.
- Bon appetit.
- Did they put pickle juice in this?
- (man) Our pickle... - Oh, that's what this is!
- It's pickles!
- (man) What we're gonna do to cook this
is we're gonna add hot water.
- The thing is, I feel like I've probably had
this combination of flavors just in a different way.
- (man) Then start to flatten it out.
- That was clean, dude!
- Oh my God, look at it! - Wow!
I'm like... - Wow!
- I'm honestly kind of impressed.
- (man) Thing that we're gonna add is the tuna.
- This is so nasty.
- (man) And once that's done, we're gonna add on our ketchup,
and then our sugar.
- Sugar!?
- Sugar! - There's sugar?
- (man) We're gonna add some Doritos, and voila.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- This is good!
- (PvF) You guys are both, Izzy and Daniel Coleman loved it.
- Really? - (PvF) Mm-hmm.
- No. - No.
- It feels kinda wrong to eat this.
- Why?
- It tastes bad.
- There's something about it that makes you feel a little dirty?
- Yeah.
- I'm curious how much trial and error went through this.
- Right, and the pickle juice was a surprise,
but welcomed twist.
- And it like, my throat wouldn't swallow.
- It wouldn't let me swallow! It wouldn't let me swallow,
it kept on like closing up. (laughs)
- I was like am I gonna throw up on REACT again?
- Uh...
(Danny whimpers)
- (sighs) Is this like Kool-Aid?
- Oh, but it's, wow, that's an interesting smell.
- Oh, it's like Kool-Aid and coffee?
- Yeah, I was like this smells like Kool-Aid and coffee.
- This one might mess me up.
- (PvF) The Bombay, or Bombay whip
is initially a Georgia prison slang for a non-alcoholic social drink
using instant coffee, Kool-Aid, and soda.
It's primarily consumed by a group
who all pitch in to make it,
'cause a lot of these ingredients are expensive at the commissary,
and because of its high caffeine and sugar content,
people say they get geeked on it.
- ♪ Turn it up loud ♪
- Geeked. (Brian laughs)
- (PvF) I'm not the right person to say that.
- I'm trying to get geeked.
- This one's gonna suck, I don't like coffee.
- Me neither.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(bell rings)
- (man) Sir, yes sir, Bombay today, no cap.
- Oh, with Jolly Ranchers.
- Hmm. - (man) Got the Kool-Aid, the candy.
- (PvF) Oh, oh. - (man) The coffee.
- Oh my God!
(Danny coughs)
- Um, absolutely not. (buzzer rings)
(laughs)
- It's like a strong coffee punch,
and then like a bit of Kool-Aid and soda.
Like, I'm scared to lick the foam off my lip.
(Danny coughs)
- Oh my God. - Mm-mm.
- God, that one tasted like ass.
- Yeah, I can't say I'm the biggest fan of this one.
- (man) Aw no, look at this [censored].
- He's so excited.
- He's feeling himself right now.
I mean, shout out to the homie, but...
- It was the liquid, and then immediately,
a glob of something hitting the back of my throat.
- (laughs) I can't do that. - No dude, no dude, I quit.
I quit the play.
- It tasted like what an unsupervised child would make.
(Daniel laughs)
And then because they're adults, they also threw coffee in it.
- I didn't taste any coffee. - Really?
- Taste no coffee.
- Okay, well that's probably because
you got all of it down at the same time.
You couldn't taste anything!
- I'm saying the weirdest thing to me is that they have to resort to this,
'cause conditions are such garbage.
- Once again, I already know that I lost.
I'ma give it the old college try,
I'm gonna take another sip.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
That's not the one.
- Again, visually, not very appealing.
- (Daniel) No, oh, it's very stiff.
- Oh, it's gonna be like a movie,
when like you start throwing up, and I start throwing up.
(Danny laughs)
- (PvF) From Chef Finesse, we have his secret prison gumbo recipe.
- Ah. - Yeah, that's gumbo.
- (Finesse) Your boy, K-Finesse here on the real man, check it out.
- Who's allowing phones in these prisons?
- (Finesse) Got some baby clams about to throw in that bitch.
(Brian laughs)
I got my crab meat I'm fitting to put in that bitch.
- Mmm, this is the best one so far.
- Yeah no, this is actually pretty good.
- This one is not bad.
- Yeah, this is very nutritionally dense.
- Is it in like a lemonade thing?
- Oh my God, that's so cute!
Do they have an oven? Like how are they cooking this?
- Wait, what is he using to boil it?
- It's good. - Seafood is seafood.
- Heck yeah.
- It does go down. - Mm-hmm.
No, this is actually fire.
- Alright, prison gumbo.
- Prison gumbo, not bad.
(bell rings)
- I'm pretty sure that they made gumbo,
because they're like dang, I'm miss my mom's gumbo.
- I get it, 100%, that makes sense.
- I would do that too.
- You were talking about like family and community.
That also happens in prison.
So you bring that into it as well.
- Yeah, his crew's in the back excited.
- Just wilding for him, yo. - They're like yo!
- Let's go Chef Finesse.
- Oh no. Why are we having a round two?
- Yeah, flavor of choice.
- I think there's Slim Jim going on here.
- That's a Slim Jim dude.
- Those are Slim Jims! Those are Slim Jims!
- Oh, Slim Jims?
- (PvF) Skateboarding legend turned prisoner Andy Roy
shared his sweet and sour pork with Munchies,
and we've recreated it for you.
- Sweet and sour pork, that's sick!
- (PvF) Andy Roy had suffered injuries related to skateboarding
and turned to heroin, which sent him down the dark path to prison.
He's currently sober, and mentors kids interested in skateboarding,
and is now an advocate for the recovering community.
- Shout out, man!
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- Oh my God! - Yep.
- Wait, that's good. Wait, that's good.
- It's not... It's not good.
- Mmm! (food squelches)
- I'm not, I'm, dude, that's enough for me.
- Second one with Kool-Aid in it that just did not work out.
- Oh my God!
- That, I know what I smell. I knew I smelled it,
and it was not good!
- I was severely mistaken by saying this was not that bad.
- Oh, are those chicharrones?
Chicharron, yum!
That's, I thought I tasted a little bit of something something there.
- This man's stomach. - I mean where you at?
- (Andy) It's kinda gnarly.
- (laughs) Yeah no.
Yeah, yeah it is.
- (Andy) You almost threw up.
- Oh, they're being dramatic.
- (Andy) This'll make you not want to go to jail right here.
- That one's rough.
- That is disgusting.
- I genuinely enjoyed it.
- But good for him, for turning his life around,
and he's making his little favorite meal,
but like, he's in his home.
- But also at the same time, his homie also gagged on the food.
So, I'm not gonna...
- His homie literally was like this will make you
not wanna go to prison, and I'm like...
- Yeah.
- What is this? - It is...
- Oh boy. - It's like a cake!
- Oh, this is a cake. This is prison cake.
- Why does it look like a couch cushion?
(both laugh)
- I smell some Froot Loop type thing going on.
- It smells fruity.
- (PvF) So finally, we have a jailhouse or doo-wop cake.
- Oh.
- (PvF) This style of cake, similar to the brick
is another ingenious transformation of commissary ingredients.
- Love! - I love they describe it as a brick.
- It's, I mean, they're not... - They're not wrong.
- (O'shay) Show you how we eat.
Best jailhouse snack ever. Doo-wop.
- Oh yep, see, there we go. Just a bunch of...
- It's really good, tastes like... - It crumbles everywhere.
- Wait, this is really good. - It's not bad at all.
- No, I really like this, actually.
- Is that hot sauce? I mean, this is good.
- Oh, it's Froot Loops. - Oh, I taste the peanut butter.
- I taste the peanut butter too, yep.
- It's like all mixed up in there. - Mm-hmm!
- This literally makes me want dough!
- The ingenuity, the thought process, the creativity is insane.
- I hope these guys come out and get like jobs as chefs, 'cause...
- Honestly.
- And this one's like creative. They're making dough.
- That's fire, dude. - Mmm.
- That's my knife, boom.
- (O'shay) I'm gonna get the first bite, right,
I'm gonna show you how to wop.
- Ah, he out here wilding. - His brain, his mind.
- He out here wilding!
- I am very pleasantly surprised.
- (PvF) Well, unfortunately, you guys did lose a few points,
and for that, we have got something from the U.S. prison system for you.
- (laughs) Is it shit?
- This is mystery meat.
- Ooh. - Oh, it's just regular prison food.
(Danny laughs)
- It smells questionable.
- (PvF) So this is called the Nutraloaf.
It was developed as a punishment prison food
that they would give unruly inmates.
It's literally like the leftovers from the prison kitchens
that they would just smoosh into these loaves and bake them,
so you're technically getting all of your nutrition.
They don't give it to the inmates with silverware,
because it's part of the degrading process
of making you eat it with your hands.
Its use is very controversial.
There's a lot of lawsuits against prison systems
for it being cruel and unusual punishment.
So this is all you.
You get to eat this whilst watching the video.
- (whispers) Lucky you.
- (narrator) This is Joe Arpaio's reaction to eating
the godless culinary creation called Nutraloaf.
- Nutraloaf?
- Eat it, eat it, eat it.
- (narrator) Here comes the airplane, and oh no, see he doesn't like it.
- I'm trying. - Yeah, this is...
- I'm trying so hard.
- Like what is this?
- (narrator) But recently, some have argued
Nutraloaf is so disgusting that serving it in prison
violates Americans' constitutional rights.
- Damn.
- I'm not even exaggerating. It smells ketchupy.
- (narrator) A hunk of compressed kitchen trash.
- Compressed kitchen trash. - Kitchen trash?
- (narrator) The nutraloaf was designed in correctional test kitchens
as a form of punishment.
- This isn't like a deterrent to keeping people out of prison.
- The fact that this would even be something that you would do
to punish a human being is just like disgusting,
because yes, they're in prison, but they're like human beings.
- That's also how inmates like die in prison of starvation,
because I'd be the one that's like I'm not eating this.
- Why would you design food to be punishment?
- No, that's why I was saying like the U.N. considers
U.S. prisons to be inhumane. - Yeah.
- Torture. - Yeah.
- Practically torture. - Mm-hmm.
- (PvF) What do you wanna fix in the prison system?
- This. - The food.
- Just start with like banning private prisons.
- Yeah, just start. - Just to start.
- There's plenty of things that need to change,
especially in the for-profit prison system.
But like, this is inhumane.
- I feel like the prison doesn't serve the purpose
of what we want it to serve.
It doesn't act as a punishment to rehabilitate.
It acts as a punishment just to be sadomasochistic.
- There are so many people who are getting put in prison
for monetary purposes, and these people are benefiting
off of doing this to them.
- Quick note. (tray rattles)
(Daniel laughs)
(tray rattles)
- Jesus! (laughs) (Dime laughs)
