Prisoner Starts His Own TikTok Cooking Show From His Cell

Combs, who goes by the TikTok handle @mrinnocent72x0, has gone viral with videos showing him cooking with a broken hotplate and his metal bed.

‘I opted to cook since it's better than what they serve us,' Combs stated. We get food packages from the canteen so that we may order boxed meals in. While the idea behind the cooking is straightforward, how he does it is brilliant.

The prisoner told the Daily Mail how he created a makeshift oven:

“I broke a hot pot down and took the plate out of it and sanded my bunk down to the metal to cook from it.”

Combs continued, ‘I cook burritos, tacos, quesadillas, rice bowls, stir fry, burgers, tostadas, and bacon, but burritos are my favorite because I been cooking them for so long. I make food for my cellmate and some friends at times for special occasions. I have a passion for cooking. I have been in jail since 18 and this is where I learned all my cooking from.’

The viral TikTok chef stated that he can only use prepackaged food because of prison regulation. Nonetheless, he noted that ‘I make the best of all the ingredients that I have, and if I don’t have what I need I just get it from a friend, and we compile all our food together and make it work.’

Speaking about the impact he wants to have, Combs noted:

“I don’t want people to look down on us because of the mistakes we made and see that jail is a different place for some people.”

“Some people think that it’s all about violence and what they hear or see on TV, but it’s so much more than what people don’t see. I want to be able to enlighten them on what’s going on behind these walls.”

Unfortunately, Combs' TikTok account has been deactivated, but many people will be interested in seeing more of his creative cooking.
