 Louisiana Prisons |  Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections http://www.corrections.state.la.us/
We have received a copy of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections Regulation Number C-06-00 named Field Operations - Culinary Food Services. This document explains how inmates can receive special diets.
From our understanding of the document, there are two ways to get special diet. One is if it is a therapeutic diet, approved by medical staff. The other is if it is a religious diet, and that must be approved by a prison chaplain.
We have offered an option to inmates in these facilities who are not affiliated with traditional religions but want a vegetarian diet for ethical/moral reasons: they have the option, if they are comfortable expressing their beliefs to be Humanists, to use our brochure AND IF I DON'T BELIEVE and request a vegetarian diet because of their Humanist beliefs. We are waiting to hear whether their requests are successful. |
