If I'm being honest, I feel bad for the vegetarian prisoners who are probably going to get stuck with vegan food because the prisons won't be bothered cooking separate meals. So no cheese or eggs for vegetarians for the term of their sentence.
Now that's a deterrent to breaking the law.
As far as I know, vegetarian catering in prisons is not really a problem.
It is certainly true that if you ask prison cooks to cater for vegans without any further training, they are not likely to understand that vegan food is just as tasty as other food or know good recipes. You need to organise training for them. On the upside, catering budgets will be less strained with vegan food. It's mostly the meat that's expensive, so they buy cheap meat, which is even more shit than other meat.
