While I agree prisoners aren't treated well, I'm not convinced that vitamin pills are necessarily worth while.

"If you take a multivitamin, it's probably because you want to do everything you can to protect your health. But there is still limited evidence that a daily cocktail of essential vitamins and minerals actually delivers what you expect. The latest round of studies, published in December in Annals of Internal Medicine, found no benefit from multivitamins in protecting the brain or heart."

We've seen that deficiencies cause disease, but there seems to be little evidence that vitamin supplement pills prevent it.
