5.4 Conditions of incarceration 5.4.1 All inmates complained of the poor quality of the meals they received, which comprised mainly bread and watered-down coffee. They reported that they received insufficient protein, no fruit and no sugar. Inmates thought that if the centre moved from using coal and diesel for cooking to using electric pots, the quality of meals would improve as diesel and coal shortages would not result in the centre serving meals that require no cooking.
