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.

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.

is treated with dignity.
