I agree partially with you, since excess protein is usual among many bodybuilding, and can also force kidney (in case of powder of aminoacids suplement).
But heavy training needs extra calories, and in a balanced food this means more meat with the larger portions of food. These prison standart food, in trays, have just calories for a average person, but not for heavy training.
Maybe the prison movies and prison series I saw, with big bodybuilding training in prison (to be superstrong criminals when leave prison...) was bigger than the reality.
Anyway the standart trays with same calories, would make a lot of obese prisioners lose a lot of weight.
