Letter to members of the Council of the District of Columbia
The residents of D.C.’s jails are our neighbors, friends and family members. They will come home to rejoin our communities, so it is counterproductive to compound their sentences with dietary neglect if public safety is our goal. Nutritious food in jail is not a luxury — it is a cornerstone of rehabilitation and a testament to our values as a society.
