It's now been 15 years this April since VPSG was first established - our aims

were and still are to highlight concerns and make recommendations to try to

ensure equal opportunities for strict ethical vegans detained within prison or

in a police cell.

 

Below are some of the achievements we have made since we were established in

1994:

 

* Our Guidelines on the Care of Vegans were installed in every prison in 1996

 

* Vegan prison issue toiletries now available in all prisons

 

* Catering Information Pack first installed in all prisons in 2004 and updated

and re-issued jointly with The Vegan Society in 2007

 

* Prison News Sheets are now produced twice a year to all Catering Managers now

jointly with The Vegan Society

 

* Caseworkers allocated to each strict ethical vegan prisoner to assist them

during their sentence

 

* Helpline available to prisoners 7 days a week

 

* Emergency Arrest Line available 7 days a week

 

Our ultimate goal is to ensure whichever prison a strict ethical vegan prisoner

arrives at they will have facilities in place for the prison to be able to

properly provide for them.
