This article explores the right to adequate food and nutrition through qualitative research conducted in 2009 into prisoner views on the fulfilment of that right in Queensland correctional centres. The results are first contextualised in the relevant sociological, legal and human rights frameworks. It was found that prisoner concerns crystallised around four main themes — namely, the quality and quantity of food, the availability of special diets, the lack of choice, and the desire to eat during family visits. The article concludes by considering the broader repercussions of prison food for society, including its potential to reduce anti-social behaviour and relieve burdens on the healthcare system
