For social justce and human rights purposes individuals incarcerated in jails and prisons need healthy food rather than a diet of mostly carbs:they need salad, fruit,real vegetables, protein bars, sweet potatoes, healthy sandwiches etc.and healthy snacks rather than junk food! Most individuals gain between 25-40 pounds while incarcerated and it then becomes a health issue where states pay for health care costs as a result of obesity and poor health. If we model a healthy diet perhaps it will carry over once individuals are released and save our health care system money!!
