Co-authored by project team members Julie Courchesne, Ghassan Zahran and Amanda Wilson, this perspectives pieces shares reflections on the role of food in prison, drawing on insights from the academic literature as well as lived experience. Highlighting its multiple meanings and uses, we underscore the complexity of food in prison as well as its fundamental importance in shaping the overall experience of incarceration. Rather than following the more traditional format of an academic article, our discussion takes the form of a conversation and collective reflection between the three of co-authors.
