She talked to a few other inmates and decided to put together a cookbook of their recipes. There is a "skin on the pig" burrito that involves soaking pork skins in water. Johnson's favorite is "delightful tuna nachos," where canned tuna is mixed with chicken seasoning, powdered milk, hot sauce and other ingredients before dumping them atop nachos.
The book comes with "Did you know?" facts after every recipe, like "The prison dentist only pulls or fills teeth. An inmate can only have their teeth cleaned if they pass a plaque test with less than 10 percent plaque. If the inmate fails the plaque test, then the teeth are not cleaned."
There also is a Prison Lingo section describing terms like bird bath (washing at the sink instead of the shower), ear hustling (eavesdropping), goosing (fornicating) and spit boxing (arguing).
