Prison Food Sucks—Unless You Know How to Hustle the System

Cookinn’ in the Clink is the ultimate prison cooking guide to surviving and thriving on prison food, revealing the hidden tricks inmates use to turn commissary scraps into real meals.

Written by Larry Jay Levine, a former federal inmate turned prison consultant, this book delivers firsthand knowledge of how inmates cook, trade, and outsmart the system to eat better behind bars. Whether you’re an inmate, ex-con, survivalist, or just someone fascinated by prison life, this book will open your eyes to a world where food is power, ramen is currency, and cooking is an art.
