BEJARANO-RONCANCIO, Jhon Jairo; CELEDON-DANGOND, Carlos Augusto  e  SOCHA-GRACIA, Liliana. Prison feeding: between hygiene and rights. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2015, vol.63, n.3, pp.527-535. ISSN 0120-0011.  https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v63n3.48961.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) recommend the conditions under which the detention of persons deprived of liberty must be developed, including those relating to food supply. This establishes the basis for the standards, processes and procedures in National Order Detention Facilities (ERON, in its Spanish acronym). In Colombia, and in many other countries, these scenarios of food production are insufficient; among the variables to consider are the physical infrastructure, contract types, regional food habits due to the heterogeneous origin of the inmate population and often their preferences, chronic pathologies that are handled, the security for raw materials entrance and food supply within the ERON. It is noteworthy that any outbreak of foodborne disease (FBD) can trigger an epidemic that is further complicated by the situation in prison. Other difficulties are non-permitted marketing, food entrance and its conservation in cells, which can produce loss of sanitary quality and endanger the health of this population.
