He stated that Inmates are provided with meals that meet the nutritional requirements recommended by health professionals and monitored routinely by the ration committee set up by the Controller General of Corrections.


The Image Maker of the Service added that the menu plans are standardized and reviewed periodically to align with evolving health standards and budgetary provisions.
