i think the worst aspect for me as aspie would be loss of privacy.
I saw a documentary once in which 6 guys slept in one cell, and one guy never went to TV room or fitness etc, but stayed in bed with his head under the covers. I thought that would be me.
i think if it isn't already AS should be taken into account at trial, not nec to reduce sentence but to understand what problems person might have and what would be least likely to aggravate them in prison. For example if put someone in jail with serious sensory issues then they may become even more prone to meltdowns, and have their sentence extended as a result of violent outbreaks.
Apparently they are only just beginning to recognise that criminals might benefit from diff dietary regimes, or therapy.
Re: balanced meals etc. A reduced calorie regime would actually extend the criminals life expectancy! And a headmistress in London discovered after banning sugar from her school that the truancy rate fell radically, and violence in school was reduced. Also exam marks went up. ! ! They need to try this in prisons. Perfect environment for trying gluten and casein free diets etc too. Get them off those opiates they're so addicted to! 
Seriously.
