Unregulated and inadequate prison menus may contribute to noncommunicable chronic health conditions in this vulnerable population. The purpose of this research was to assess nutrition offerings provided by prison menus. Researchers requested the most current version of all master menus and associated nutrition analyses for gendered and age-centric (pediatric vs geriatric) menus. Menu and nutrient data were extracted and entered into a spreadsheet for analysis. Prisons serve gendered or nongendered menus to the general population, and 52.9% of prisons offer nongendered menus where males and females receive the same meals. This approach provides excess calories and saturated fat to females. Sodium was served in excess to both males and females. Fruit and vegetable servings on all gendered menus fell short of recommendations. The average prison menu inappropriately offers calories, sodium, and fruit and vegetable servings in a one-size-fits-all menu development method without considering gender, age, and physical activity. Interpretation and application of Dietary Guidelines for Americans are inconsistent. Nutrition guidelines recommending appropriate nutrients and food groups should be developed and available to corrections systems and dietitians. Current prison menu development practices yield inappropriate nutrition for prison populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/jchc.24.02.0020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]],"date-time":"2024-09-12T06:52:14Z","timestamp":1726123934000},"page":"326-331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nutritional Characteristics of Menus in State Prisons"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4896-481X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Bain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin L.","family":"Sauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7732-6111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mitchel K.","family":"Holliday","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Holliday Consulting, LLC, St. Charles, Minnesota, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","volume-title":"Performance-based standards and expected practices for adult correctional institutions","author":"American Correctional Association","year":"2021","unstructured":"American Correctional Association.
