What type of meals should detainees in segregation be provided?

Detainees in segregation are typically provided with sack meals, which are meals that can be easily transported and eaten without the need for utensils or a dining area. This type of meal is designed to ensure that detainees in segregation can receive their nutrition while also maintaining security and order within the facility. Sack meals often consist of pre-packaged items that are safe and sanitary, allowing for efficient distribution without compromising the safety protocols necessary for managing detainees in isolation.

In contrast, hot meals, regular meals, or cold meals may not meet the logistical requirements or safety considerations necessary for detainees in segregation. These options could involve more complex serving arrangements or could be less suitable for the circumstances surrounding their confinement. Sack meals provide a practical solution that balances the detainees' rights to adequate nutrition with the institutional need for security and control.
