DIY food boxes delivered to prisoners in jail in bid to improve diets and cooking skills

The jail-made alternative to Hello Fresh and Gousto boxes contain staples such as pasta, rice and tinned tomatoes as well as “easy to prepare” veg like green beans and peppers. A source said: “This could be the start of a culinary revolution.”
