That's not very well worded. You don't "get" rights because you're imprisoned. You always have rights and always will, in prison or not. It's just some rights are limited.

Is that really correct? On the street you don't have the right to eat. But when in prison you certainly have that right, they cannot starve you just because you don't have money to buy food.

I remember reading about medical treatment, which had the same sort of "problem". Uninsured you don't have the right to, for example, heart transplants, but in prison you did have that right because you are in care of the prison. I don't know if this is correct, but that was the gist of the article I read. There was some worry about that desperate people would commit crimes in order to be put in prison and recive a heart-transplant.
