Assessment of prisoners’ diet showed that it is deficient in calories as well as in Recommended Daily Allowance values. Caloric value was about 64.9% deficient considering one serving (plate per time) taken. A quantitative-qualitative mixed approach was adopted. Convenient purposive sampling was employed to recruit 112 participants. For quantitative assessment a descriptive cross-sectional study design and semi-structured data collection tool was used, and for qualitative evaluation, caloric and RDA value of different nutrients were calculated and in-depth interviews were conducted. Analysis showed that the diet provided was deficient in caloric and RDA values, thus the prison authority should design a proper strategy to ensure proper nutritional status of prisoners.
