Yup. I spent 10 months behind bars a long time ago. Ramen packets were $.99 each, and you could only buy a max of 10 at a time, and keep up to 15 in your property. It truly was the currency of everything. I had a cellmate who constantly played poker, and they would use soups and shots of coffee as betting chips. When I got moved to ultra minimum security (which has cells with up to 8 inmates at a time), we would make one huge spread consisting primarily of: Soups, bags of chips, refried beans, squeeze cheese. Then anyone would add what they wanted on theirs. It was a moment of comradeship, when we shared, ate, joked, and laughed.

I've seen inmates so creative with Ramen that it seems valuable. You can use it to make burritos, tacos, soups, pizzas, alternative to rice, and other side dish. Almost nobody eat it plain unless that inmate is fresh to jail or prison. Once you know what to do with it, it truly is amazing.

If more than five are found the guards will take all of them. My little brother spent some time in there for DUI that caused damage. He was shocked at what people would do for ramen when they didn't have cash in their accounts. They also hand candy, crackers, and jerky. He was told that all prisons have different items in their jail stores. Also, the Ramon there cost like 1.50 and most thing cost more because it was a Prison for profit

also generally, county jails food is on the smaller end, but in big prisons where people are actually doing real time, the breakfast/dinner servings are much bigger and are technically sufficient to keep you alive. this is HOWEVER very low calorie, low nutritious, and un-filling for the reason to depress you, and generally make you less energetic. by doing this they try to reduce the amount of violence in said prisons. this is actually a true reason.

At your local market the lower grade ramen sells for 10 per $1.00 often. Prisons by in far greater bulk than grocery stores. So the profit margins for ramen sales at the State prisons is huge. The California food budget per inmate per day is $.90. This is why prisoners must have a staple to fall back on when the daily menu is inedible (which is often).

Hence proved!

I never bought ramen when I was locked up, I would buy honey buns and trade for Ramen with the conversion rate (in CT at least) it was an instant come up, and even more so on weekends

I was curious about Finland and apparently in at least one prison the most popular products are curd (kinda like a thick yogurt) and eggs, apparently to get protein for weightlifting. They also get 4 meals a day which cost more to make than school lunches (and have 2800 calories per day), so they seem to eat pretty well. Oh, and they apparently can buy cigarettes in the store, that was a surprise.

I can vouch and say Ramen and Stamps are definitely the main currencies in prison! I've sold a few prison meals in my day! 🍜

Imagine if the prisons in America dumped tons of ramen into the prisons using this as a currency, it would cause it to inflate and it would be worthless 😂

In short. prisoners don't get fed enough food to survive, so they give you just about anything for some ramen.

How long until those prisoners leave and replace the world economy with ramen?

The penitentiary in my home town had a farm, the inmates worked it.. the farm produced a large part of their food and taught them skills to use when they left. Some farmers would hire them on to their farms during their probation time frame, depending on what their crime was.
