From the very beginning, newly arriving inmates were given two choices: reside on one side of the prison where everything was exactly like any other prison that operated under the standard California Department of Corrections guidelines and meal plans; or, go to the other side of the prison that embraced the “NEWSTART” program. This unique program featured an exclusively vegan diet, bible studies, anger management, and job training. The NEWSTART program was originally met with speculation, and the State of California initially believed that less than one percent of the inmates coming in would willfully choose a vegan diet. Indeed, the opposite was true – over 85 percent of the inmates picked the NEWSTART program over the regular living conditions. The results? Not only did a friendlier, non-divisive environment exist in the prison yard, but the inmates gradually became less aggressive in general. Most importantly, the percentage of former inmates who were later rearrested dropped to less than two percent. Compare this to the State of California’s average rate of 95 percent, and it becomes apparent that something good was really happening here. ~ insidershealth/article/a_vegan_prison_reducing_aggression_and_fostering_better_inmates/5212
