ARAMARK Correctional Services, in conjunction with the Vanderburgh County Jail, has implemented a program called FreshFavorites™. FreshFavorites is a behavior incentive program that allows the friends and family members of those incarcerated, to purchase a restaurant-quality meal on behalf of their incarcerated loved one. In the facilities that participate in this program, it is very common for behavior related problems to reduce substantially – because as an Officer within a living unit, you will have the ability to restrict individual inmates from receiving these meals. Like commissary, inmates look forward to receiving these meals on a weekly basis and will typically avoid disorderly behavior to ensure they maintain program eligibility.
FreshFavorites Benefits
- Behavioral control – FreshFavorites gives correctional officers a tool to manage offender behavior. Facilities benefit from fewer disruptions and security-related issues
- Improved offender morale – Officers are quick to recognize that this program can be an important factor in maintaining inmates’ morale

- A way for families to stay connected – Available online so family and friends can go online and order meals for their loved ones
