The food served in Pennsylvania state prisons is contributing to the
malnourishment of inmates, with meals failing to meet basic nutritional needs,
leaving the vast majority of inmates hungry and predisposed to chronic illness
as a result of the poor quality of food.
Those are among the findings contained in a report provided to PennLive by the
Pennsylvania Prison Society, the largest prison monitoring organization in the
commonwealth.
