Free Markets and Prisons

breathe. Now this doesn't necessarily mean you can force others to feed you at your whim. In prison, the prison must either provide you with food or the means to acquire food because they have otherwise put you in a situation where you cannot acquire food on your own.

Does this mean it would be legal for prisons in the USA to not hand out food, but instead operate a store where inmates can buy food, in case they have money, and if they don't they starve? Or am I misunderstanding you? This would certainly not be the case in Sweden, here prisons must provide food for any inmate.
