It's now been 15 years this April since VPSG was first established - our aims were and still are to highlight concerns and make recommendations to try to ensure equal opportunities for strict ethical vegans detained within prison or in a police cell.

Below are some of the achievements we have made since we were established in 1994:

* Our Guidelines on the Care of Vegans were installed in every prison in 1996

* Vegan prison issue toiletries now available in all prisons

* Catering Information Pack first installed in all prisons in 2004 and updated and re-issued jointly with The Vegan Society in 2007

* Prison News Sheets are now produced twice a year to all Catering Managers now jointly with The Vegan Society

* Caseworkers allocated to each strict ethical vegan prisoner to assist them during their sentence

* Helpline available to prisoners 7 days a week

* Emergency Arrest Line available 7 days a week

Our ultimate goal is to ensure whichever prison a strict ethical vegan prisoner arrives at they will have facilities in place for the prison to be able to properly provide for them.
