GM Free Prisoners

UK prisoners may have the safest diet in the country after a jailed airport campaigner went on hunger strike to fight for a GM-free diet at HMP Risley.

After 5 days the governor gave in to her demands and toured around the kitchens to find out what is safe. This precedent paves the way for GM-free food diets at all prisons, institutions and schools if people demand them.
