Kerala Prisons Propose Healthier, Cheaper Menus Without Mutton, Fish

Kerala’s prison officials want to change the food served in jails.

They propose stopping regular servings of mutton and fish.

Instead, prisoners would receive chicken curry, soya chunks, and eggs.

Officials say this could make meals healthier.

They also say the new menu would be cheaper to buy and easier to store.

The plan is expected to save nearly ₹5.7 crore each year.

Fish is currently served twice a week, and mutton is served on Saturdays.

Prisoners with medical needs would still receive diets prescribed by doctors.
