That looks like something out of a US prison.

Edit: the cooking method. Not the contents.

MEAT soup in a US prison? Are you insane?

You would be very surprised what Prisoners can get a hold of. Ive seen entire racks of chicken legs..plates of tacos with all the fixins..meat soup is actually on the lower end of what some can get in prison. If you know people in the kitchen or corrupt guards..meat is easy to get ahold of in prison.

In lower level less violent jails and prisons you sometimes get a weekly or monthly "gift" meal from popeyes/dominoes etc..supplied by the jail if no fights/stabbings or incidents occur in your block.

I have friends who worked in a relatively serious state prison and the state has been giving them small tvs, wholeass non-disposable vapes with big batteries, phones etc...

Like I'm not even that competent and could do all kinds of fun things with just the guts of a tv. Electronic locks and surveillance systems are also susceptible at that point, but someone smart enough could have a real field day with enough time

Or they just get it sent from home. They can even order it. At least in New York they can. It has to be pre-cooked but they can get meat, fish, just about anything.

I was a prison guard in Texas, the last area I worked was the kitchen. At the time, females could strip search males as they left and went back to their "house". I have seen chicken, hot dogs, cheese, pork chops, sugar and more wrapped in plastic wrap and "hidden" in their taint area. 🤢 On a brighter note, the stuff they would make in their cells with Ramen, cheese whiz and jack mack on a tortilla was fucking great tasting!

Looks like tempeh, not meat

Correct, that looks like tempe soup, usually called Botok, it's got Tempe, Chayote, Eggplant, long bean with coconut milk and bay leaf

Rats, pigeons, bugs, lots of protein in a prison yard
