      abstract = {Prison food system exploration is generally absent within  various examinations of food justice work and research.  However, this research investigates United States prison  food systems in order to inform an understanding of foods'  roles in these institutions so that prison food issues can  be more effectively addressed within the food justice and  prison reform movements. Examining United States penal  institutions' food systems highlights the consequences of  understanding healthy food as a privilege rather than a  basic human right. Control, cost, and capitalistic  considerations of food have become emblematic of penal  injustice. A growing for-profit prison industry,  outsourcing of food to private service providers, and  growing inmate population burdens all substantiate the  concern. In the pursuit of abject punishment we have  replaced the innate human quality of life through  sustenance with inhumane manipulation of food for cruel and  unusual punishment.},
