Prison kitchens have to keep inmates well fed on a tight budget.

Breakfast, lunch and an evening meal cost an average of £1.87 per prisoner per day.

Young offenders' institutes spend £3.81 per day.

Prisons now cater for a wide variety of diets and often offer healthy options.

Many jails no longer have dining halls and prisoners will often eat in their cells.
