MODERN PRISON DIETS

Abstract

Revised dietary scales shown in Table 1, were introduced in November 1985 and they are not radically different from their predecessors. However, analysis reveals a numbers of significant changes in the balance of nutrients and food components. The daily meals now provided less energy from fat, and more from complex carbohydrates; they are lower in saturated fat and higher in unsaturated fats; and there is an increase in fibre.
