This menu from Alcatraz Prison for a week in September of 1946 doesn’t look that bad. There are three solid meals a day, mostly different from the day before.
This 1946 weekly menu from the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary list some surprisingly tasty-sounding options, including roast pork shoulder, layer cake, and breaded rock cod. The menu was posted by San Francisco Chronicle restaurant blog Inside Scoop SF. The San Francisco Hyatt Regency is currently hosting an exhibition about Alcatraz—“Alcatraz: Life on the Rock”—and is serving a special Alcatraz menu in the hotel restaurant until September 9, 2013, when the exhibition closes.
