| Abstrakt: | People experiencing incarceration in the United States face numerous health disparities before, during, and after imprisonment, with prison conditions often exacerbating the severity of their health conditions. Within prisons, inadequate nutrition may contribute to the high prevalence of chronic disease such as diabetes and heart disease. This article discusses the development of an evidence-based nutrition curriculum for prison settings, informed by literature on current nutrition in prison, as well as previous health interventions designed to improve the health of incarcerated individuals. The curriculum was developed using guidelines for an effective health curriculum from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Furthermore, this article discusses the theoretical foundations and effective pedagogies for teaching health materials in prison and provides further recommendations for improving nutrition in correctional institutions.
