Prison food is the meals served to prisoners while incarcerated in correctional institutions. While some prisons prepare their own food, many use staff from on-site catering companies. There are many prisons supporting dietary habits of the specific religion including vegetarianism today.〔(Do Prison Inmates Have a Right to Vegetarian Meals? ). Vegetarian Journal Mar/Apr 2001. Retrieved 19 August 2015.〕 In many developed countries, it is said that prison food is good for health and diet.〔(British Prison Cuisine Today ). FoodReference.com. Retrieved 10 August 2015.〕 ==United States== Typical menus are designed to be low-sugar, low-salt, and to contain a moderate amount of calories. Dietary, religious, and ethical concerns are taken into consideration to a certain extent. Supreme Court cases in 1987, Turner v. Safley and O'Lone v. Estate of Shabazz created a test which balanced the constitutional right of a prisoner to exercise their religion freely against the right of the prisons to punish the inmate and keep the prison in order. Inmates' rights under this test could only be burdened if they did not serve "penological interest." Whether or not a prison has breached an inmate's religious dietary rights is now judged from the cases of Turner and O'Lone. While this test is still in use, many other constitutional points come into play, and it is still a widely debated issue. Most prison food in the United States is prepared with the blast-chill method, which allows a large number of meals to be prepared and then reheated at mealtimes. In the US, this technique was pioneered by the New Jersey correctional system, in January 1982. Inmates may also purchase food at the prison commissary, such as chocolate bars, beef jerky, honey, peanut butter, bread, coffee, and snack cakes. Often, private civilian contractors are responsible for all aspects of food preparation, including training, adherence to recipes, food safety, theft prevention, and portion control. Jewish prisoners are typically issued kosher rations.〔(Are Clark County Jail meal requests kosher?
