When we use the term "prison fare," we often refer to food that is unappetizing, basic, and lacking in variety. However, there are a number of alternative synonyms to this term that can also be used. For example, we might refer to prison food as "institutional fare," "lockup cuisine," or "penitentiary provisions." Other synonyms could include terms like "jailhouse chow," "incarceration eats," or even simply "slammer food." Regardless of the terminology we choose, these phrases all point to the same idea: that food served in correctional facilities is often limited in scope and quality.
