Prison food: Good or Bad?

I've never been to jail or prison so I wouldn't have a clue.

I did visit Alcatraz island about 2 years ago while on vacation. They claimed the food there was pretty good as the warden believed in feeding the prisoners pretty well.
 
I don't really know anything about it, but I would guess it is not awful and if not tasty is nutritionally pretty good for the simple reason that prisons want healthy inmates, it's expensive and a security hassle when they need medical treatment.
 
Here in my country, all prison food sucks, a good friend of mine has been there for a good while.. and he suffered tons of illnesses because of it. Even Salmonella.
 
I still don't understand it. Let me do a bit of research into this ?
So I think jail is where they hold you before you are sentenced. Prison is where you go after all the court stuff is finished and you know what your prison sentence is.

No experience with prison but having watched TV shows, it can't be good lol

Okay that does make sense now. I have watched a few episodes from Prison Break. Not sure it anyone would consider that to be the real condition of a prison?
