GATESVILLE, Texas - How about some tuna nachos for your Super Bowl party? It's one of the recipes from women serving time in Texas. Six female convicts have compiled an unusual cookbook "From The Big House to Your House."
One of the recipes is for tuna nachos. Inmate Celeste Johnson says it sounds disgusting but
it grows on you. Prison cooking isn't easy.
The women don't have access to a stove, refrigerator or a knife. Anything that needs heating must be done in a hot pot, which warms water but not to the boiling point. After all, boiling water could be used as weapon against a guard, or another inmate.
