What To Do with Vegan Inmates?
Most prisons don’t have vegan meal options, but your standard animal-based dishes.
Recently a criminal by the name of Love Sky Dancer (of course) was incarcerated, and as a vegan, he requested he be sent to a prison where vegan meal options exist. Apparently the penal system in London accomodates vegan inmates. The judge approved the request, and Love Sky Dancer is now in London.

So should vegans be allowed to transport to vegan-friendly prisons? Was the judge right in accomodating Love Sky Dancer? What should the American penal system do with Vegan Inmates?

The prison system should provide three healthy meals per day to the prison population as a whole. They don’t need to be catering to everyone’s individual needs. If a prisoner doesn’t want to eat the meatloaf, they should be allowed to take extra broccoli. If you want your dietary preferences catered to, don’t do the crime.

I don’t have an answer, but it certainly is an interesting question. Where do they draw the line on whose dietary preferences should be accommodated in prisons? Should religious dietary restrictions be honored? Food allergies? Raw foodism?
