Let's see if you can answer this.

If you have to eat above your TDEE to gain muscle then how is it inmates in jail or prison come out buff after working out and I know they don't get much to eat or at least enough to build muscle like they do.

    You may not necessarily gain under TDEE, however you are still shaping your body and changing its composition.

    In most jails I thought inmates ate fairly well? In others... is it at all possible that they are getting their hands on substances that assist and promote muscular growth?

    Anyway, I think it would be impossible to answer this 100% correctly without knowing exactly what these people are eating, how they are working out, and other factors involved.
