PRISON Regulations by Jurisdiction

Georgia Prisons

Georgia Department of Corrections http://www.dcor.state.ga.us/

Georgia prisons offer the following meal options:
  • VEGAN (Animal Product Free, means no eggs, dairy or meat)
  • RESTRICTED VEGAN (Animal Product-Free Additionally, this Meal Plan is prepared with separate utensils and equipment that may not be used to prepare Non-Restricted Vegan meals and is served with disposible or separate items. Kosher vegan foods may be used in this Meal Plan.
  • PORK-WAIVE OFF WITH NO SUBSTITUTE (The Pork Entrée is removed from the Master Menu tray and not replaced.)
  • PORK-WAIVE OFF WITH VEGAN SUBSTITUTE (The Pork Entrée is removed from the Master Menu tray and replaced with the Vegan Entrée ONLY on Days that Pork is served as the entree)
  • MASTER MENU (Regular Master Menu with no substitutions or waive-offs.)
The only meal plan that requires documentation of religious beliefs is the Restricted Vegan option. The written request for this menu choice must include reasons why the regular vegan menu option is not adequate for your beliefs.
Please use this link to see the Georgia Department of Corrections regulations about vegan/vegetarian meals.

This link will give you the Inmate Alternative Entree Meal Participation Form.
Here is a very helpful explanation of Georgia DOC regulations that we recently received from one of their staff:

The Georgia Department of Corrections currently has 6 sites with restricted vegan kitchens and we are in the process of adding two more. It is not unusual for an inmate to request to be removed from the Alternative Entree Meal Program. Reasons vary. Also, The Georgia Department of Corrections does not serve pork.
Please use the links on the left to download the required forms. And let us know if you have questions or problems.
