Prison Spread
“Prison spread” is an inexpensive meal that developed in California prisons. Ramen noodles, Cheetos, hot sauce, and other ingredients are put into a garbage bag and mixed together.
The term “prison spread” has been cited in print since at least 2002 and a recipe was included in a 2010 cookbook.

“Prison Spread”
A favorite in Cali’s prison system. It’s suprisingly good, and makes me want to throw bags of urine at security guards.
First, cook up a package of Top Ramen, and strain the noodles.
Add the TR seasoning packet
Throw in a good amount of Mayo
Add the following items depending on availability:
shredded cheese
smoked oysters (very, very optional)
canned roast beef
crushed up chips/crackers (fritos are the best)
diced jalapenos
tabasco (or chalula)sauce
Mix all the ingredients up in a bowl, then spread on to flour or corn tortillas and eat.

I work in a prison and this is how I know this recipe in case anyone is wondering. Anyway, this is something that is commonly made from items found in the commissary (prsion store).
Prison Spread
Ingrediants (amount according to serving size and taste)
- canned (packaged) roast beef
- canned (packaged) tamale
- Ramen Noodles
- Corn Chips
- Squeeze Cheese
- Jalapenos
- Tortillas
Mix in the roast beef and tamales in a big bowl. Crush up the noodles and chips and pour in. These are mainly filler. Add in the squeeze cheese and cut up jalapenos. This would normally be heated in a hot pot but a microwave on high for about 1.5-2 minutes works good. Stir occasionaly. Spread on tortillas, roll up, and eat.
It sounds nasty as hell, but it is actually pretty good and filling.

Here’s the rundown, according to Frank151.com:
. Put the 15 Top Ramen soups in the trash bag (hold off on adding the seasoning packets).
. Add hot water and let sit. The longer the better as the soup will expand.
. When you open the trash bag all the water should be absorbed by the noodles.
. For best results add two cans of tuna, two cans of smoked oysters, and two cans of smoked clams.
. Add in all 15 Top Ramen seasoning packets at this time.
. Add 6 ounces of mayonnaise.
. Add any type of chips the homies saved from their lunches. (Hot Cheetos are preferred).
. You can get wild and throw in anything else you can steal from the kitchen, for example olives or left over chicken patties.
. Tie the trash bag up containing all the ingredients. Mix it up real good.
. Let stand for ten minutes.
. Bust it open.
. Add to flour tortillas or bread to make good tacos.
