## Resource

A Rastafarian inmate, Inyah Iroyal Jones, is taking the state to court over prison food that’s sabotaging his vegan diet—and his health. The High Court will hear his case in March after rejecting the government’s attempt to dismiss it. His legal team argues this isn’t just about one man’s faith—it’s a landmark fight for dietary rights for anyone with ethical or religious convictions behind bars. With Justice Michelle Weekes ruling the case must proceed, the court will now weigh the state’s duty to feed inmates against their right to uphold personal beliefs—potentially reshaping prison nutrition policies nationwide.
