Ignacio Cuevas

Offender: Ignacio Cuevas, along with two other inmates, held a unit of the Huntsville prison hostage. When prison officials broke the siege, he was the only survivor.

Meal: Ignacio Cuevas chose chicken and dumplings, rice, black eyed peas, sliced bread, and black eyed peas. For the tea I mixed Mio Lemonade and Sweet Tea mixes from Walgreen's. Everything else was from Jewel.


Total Cost: $2.99(chicken and dumplings) + $1.67(rice) + $2.50(black eyed peas) + 3.99(tea) + $3.99(lemonade) + $3.49(bread loaf) = $15.14

Adjusted Cost: $2.99(chicken and dumplings) + $0.83(rice) + $0.50(black eyed peas) + $0.12(tea) + $0.12(lemonade) + $0.21(bread slice) = $4.77
