All existing staff dining provisions must continue, including 16-ounce cups for correctional officers in housing units, individual flavor creamers, Pop-Tarts, granola bars, fresh fruit, and sausage biscuits served multiple times weekly, with fresh fruit also required daily on the salad bar. Inmate worker incentives must include Safe Serve certification opportunities and special meals and treats as feasible.
