2 - Food Matters in Prisons

What could happen if we shift our thinking about how food is used in prisons, and being to see it as a focal point of prison life rather than just a function? In this episode we chat to Gemma Buckland from Do It Justice about her involvement in the new 'Food Matters in Prisons' briefing, coordinated by Food Matters. We discuss the briefing, which shows how food can be used to build more rehabilitative, safe, and sustainable prison environments and the steps we need to take to achieve this. We also chat more broadly about the food system within prisons, and why it is such a logical starting place for making positive change within the prison system.
