Jack,



Most states spend less than $3 dollars per person per day on prison food
services, resulting in poor quality meals and high rates of foodborne illnesses.



In some cases, the same vendors run both the meal services and commissary,
creating a perverse incentive: the worse the meals, the greater the need to
spend money on food from the commissary.


Add your name if you agree: People in prison must be treated with dignity—not
sickened and swindled.

Penny-pinching on food services exploits incarcerated people and their
families, all while lining the pockets of corporations. Are you okay with that?



Solutions exist, like programs that allow incarcerated people to gain skills
like gardening and composting, providing them with fresh food and saving money.



Show your support for improving food behind bars and ensuring everyone is
treated with dignity.
