veganism: Just curious, LOL. Obviously not planning to go to prison but I am wondering about it.|||Well, here in the US, it can be difficult. You may have to fight for it with your lawyer based on religious or medical reasons. Animal rights activists have had to do just that when they're denied vegan food. In my area, they typically serve a very low budget meal like cheap pork bologna sandwiches on white bread bought from the day-old bakery (where they sell it when it's past the optimal freshness date) in jail, and supplement it with a small amount of vegetables grown right at the jail.|||Don't have a clue about the Australian legal system. It's not mandatory here in the US, as evidenced by the guy from 'lizzie borden' who was on hunger strike while in an LA county jail earlier this year because they would not cater to his vegan diet. Arguments can be made that it's a religious issue, but it depends on a judge's ruling for that.|||probably not ur veganism but i think you could stay a vegetarian while in jail as long as u werent their for a long time. my moms boyfriend when to jail and they served him alot of veggies and stuff along with meat. and he said they gave him soymilk instead of cow's milk cause i guess its cheaper to buy when u buy it in bulk.|||They must accomodate religious beliefs and medical concerns. However, your vegetarianism must be documentable in most states.|||No. the government doesnt care about your dietary needs. I was locked up for 4 days for a parking violation (failure to appear) and they denied me my HIV meds for the whole time. The government doesn't care. GOD FORBID the government takes over our health care system. It will be a disaster.|||I would definitely go with a rapid religious conversion in the event of your arrest, because I think you would have a good case under basic human rights in any jurisdiction to get an appropriate meal. I am sure the best plan is to stay outta trouble though :-)|||Unlikely. I am not aware of any religion that requires you to be a vegan so you have no human rights reason to get the food you want. If you were a vegetarian you might be able to say you are a Buddhist of some sort and get vegetarian meals.|||Not in the USA, I don't know about the UK. A son of a coworker is vegetarian and had to go to jail. They would not give him special food. They will give a kosher diet, but not a vegetarian diet. As a result, he lost a lot of weight.|||No...Not buy staff but you might be able to trade off your tray swapping your meat for someones veggies...also there is commissary but not allot of produce on there.but you can buy things to trade for fruit/veggies off other peoples trays.|||possibly, if you took it up with the warden, apparently a scottish prisoner in england managed to get haggis, neeps and tatties for his sunday dinner so it could be possible|||sorry my friend. nothing but a steady diet of tubesteak in there|||no|||Yes you can request a special diet and they have to cater to it.They can't make you change your beliefs.Just let them know when you go in that you are a vegan.
