From the 'Tough Shit' files...

Families Claim Prisoners Being Starved

"...The Corrections Department is defending itself against allegations it is starving prisoners. Prisoners' families are saying their relatives behind bars are not being looked after properly, and are overcharged for standard grocery items..."

More:

The meals are nutritionally adequate and not particularly appealing, which is as it should be. You certainly won't starve on them, nor will you put on weight.

They are quite like hospital food, but without dessert.

They can buy through the canteen system, but most of course spend their allocation on smokes.

There are a hell of a lot of people in NZ, especially our old folks that don't get three balanced meals a day.

Sympathy- It's in the dictionary between 'Shit' and 'Syphylis'
