Just because you’re doing a bid doesn’t mean you can’t make your health a priority.
Prodigy, formerly of Mobb Deep, wants to help inmates keep up the healthy lifestyle they lived before getting locked down. Or at least live as healthy as possible during incarceration with a new cookbook entitled, Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook. In an interview with NPR Prodigy says the book, co-written by Kathy Iandoli, was inspired by his battle with sickle cell and his desire to remain as healthy as possible while doing time.
“I couldn’t afford to get sick in prison,” he writes. “My sickle cell is no joke, so I couldn’t eat poorly or not exercise. And everything in jail is designed to do the exact opposite.”
In addition to the physical book, an audio version read by Prodigy — recipes included.
Less healthy recipes are near the end. If you make it there you”ll find instructions on how to make “Prison Surprise:” a mixture of ramen noodles, Doritos, Jack Mack (canned mackerel) and hot sauce and Prodigy ending the instructions with “Good luck, yo.”
Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook is available for purchase now on Amazon.com.
