Abstract
In this research, I examined the significance of the first meal eaten upon release from incarceration, as it may reflect changes in the meanings of food during the period of incarceration. Using last meals to serve as a comparison helped to explain comfort food and degrees of agency to better understand first meals, allowing for an analysis of the similarities and differences between both meals. Including a museum virtual tour of significant art by Julie Green, reviewing the literature in depth, and open forum observational study with formerly incarcerated individuals gave insight to the role of first meals upon release from incarceration and the degree of agency previously incarcerated individuals have over food.
