Vegetarian food may discourage some hopelessly meat-addicted convicts from reoffending. Admittedly, there are probably some inmates who will miss eating flesh, maybe because they see it as "comfort food" or maybe because theyre addicted to the fat or the various chemical, hormone, pesticide, and antibiotic residues in meat. However, as you know, its prison and not Club Med. If inmates dislike going without meat strongly enough, a program like this could further decrease recidivism.
THIS IS GREAT STUFF! Feed convicts Tofu. That alone would keep me out of prison...

See, this has been my theory for years!! Vegie diet, up early for yoga at 6am, classic music piped into the prison cells, meditation hour in the afternoon and gardens where prisoners must grow food.
No more ex-cons saying they are 'hardcore' because they were in prison. :)
