The kitchens of two prisons in Salem have achieved a rare feat by getting ‘4 star’ ratings under the Eat Right Campus campaign here, perhaps the first prisons in the State to achieve the ratings. The central prison and the central women’s sub-jail have received the ratings under the Eat Right India campaign. According to prison authorities, the prisons were given the ratings after the Food Safety officials inspected them for hygienic food practices and cleanliness among other factors. Superintendent of Prisons M. Senthil Kumar said hygienic practices were being followed in the kitchens and raw materials and vegetables used for cooking were stored in clean and safe manner. While there were about 1,045 inmates in the central prison and 58 inmates in the women’s sub-jail.More Related News
