The focus on "prison as punishment" for some people seems to also mean "complete removal of any dignity". Prison can suck without forcing people to eat and live against their moral values. Do we really thing rehabilitation works better when we show no respect? I am a meat eater, but this whole discussion is laughable in many ways. I think veganism is a healthy conviction. Stepping on that is likely to just make people more angry and feel more alienated by the system. A bit unrelated: Back in the days when I had no money at all I lived on rice, pasta, beans, broccoli, cabbage and an occasional glass of milk for 3 months (meat is expensive, at least when your budget is about 1 euro a day) without getting any notable deficiencies (went to see a doctor when I got money). If you provide means for someone to get B12 and calcium (while serving legumes daily) there wouldn't be much trouble catering to vegan needs.
