Provisions and supplies

Each inmate is allocated NT 2,000 monthly for the expense of his or her nutritional regime, according to lawful regulations. The quantity of food is checked by both accounting officers and inmate representatives who also work to improve inmates’ diet. Every six months we invite bids for contracts in vegetables, fish and meat.

Sanitary

While working, each inmate is asked to wear a standardized uniform, cap, and mask, and personal sanitation is strictly enforced. All cooking equipment is made of stainless steel, and is cleaned and sanitized every day. The Sections of General Affairs and Hygiene and Health inspect the kitchen and work with Civil Service Ethnics officers every month to assure a good quality diet.
