Until 1952, all prisoners received 122 grams of grain, 10 grams of flour, 20 grams of sugar, 75 grams of fish, 500 grams of potatoes and vegetables, 15 grams of fat, 45 grams of meat, and 650 grams of bread each day.
I’m bad at food math, but this seems like a lot of food for a prison. Inmates be living better than most civilians under capitalism.
Very disparate numbers but more than enough. 120 grams of meat total which is a bit low on protein for me, but obviously they were not training bodybuilders here. Still, protein is useful if you do labour. They might have got it from the vegetables too depending on what these were. The 650g of bread alone could feed you for the entire day in terms of calories, depending on what was in the bread though (I’m using modern figures and industrial bread contains more than simply flour for calories). Not sure what you’d do with 10 grams of flour lol.
122 grams of grain, if uncooked, is a good portion.
Very carb-heavy which is not a problem by itself, I’m just thinking as a gym hobbyist.
Overall more than enough calories even if they were doing demanding physical labour day in and day out.
