The New CellBlock Cooking: A Prison Cookbook Revised for Today’s Prisoners

Whether you’re sending it to someone on the inside or just curious about how people make magic out of ramen and a plastic spoon — The New Cellblock Cooking is a crash course in food ingenuity. This revised edition is packed with meals, spreads, and snacks built for the realities of modern incarceration — no stove, no knives, just hustle, plastic utensils, and a microwave (if you're lucky).

Inside you’ll find:

• Dozens of real recipes made from commissary staples like ramen, squeeze cheese, tortillas, chips, tuna pouches, and peanut butter

• Clear step-by-step instructions that work in dorm units, lockup, or even your college dorm or breakroom

• No-fluff food hacks that help stretch a budget and bring people together — whether you're locked up or just locked into saving money

• Perfect for inmates, family members sending a thoughtful gift, or anyone fascinated by prison life and resilience

From the inside, for the inside — but useful anywhere food, creativity, and survival meet.
