I'm sure you are not the only one, but why wouldn't the prison do that?

Why should a prison accommodate a prisoner who is a vegan any more than one who wants to eat filet mignon for every meal?

Well if (I assume) you're coming from the mindset of how US prisons treat their inmates, expecting prisoners to be treated with any kind of humanity at all would certainly seem rediculous.

Probably because filet mignon is more expensive than a vegan meal.

Why should a prison accommodate people who don't eat certain things based on religious guidelines? People are rarely vegan because they associate a vegan diet with one of luxury. They choose not to eat animal products because they have an ethical objection to them.
