I was infuriated by this story.It is not proven beyond doubt, but there is evidence to suggest that improved diet would result in improved social function for everyone - that is to say, in this context, better behaved prisoners. At the very least, there's enough evidence to merit further research.
It's also the case that proper education in prison'd mean that prisoners'd have a better chance to avoid going back in future.
But the ideas'll never be put into practice, because of the Daily Heil readers who'll object to prisoners being treated with dignity and with one eye on the long-term returns.

Other stuffThis article is probably the best argument for penal reform I've ever seen in my life: women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article3848081.ece
And this is me talking, and I can see the argument for a return of the stocks :)
