Their lunch and supper each had only one vegetarian dish and the vegetables were dirty, rotten, bitter, and tough.

A Tribute to the Memory of Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Jia Cuiying from Hunan Province
2005-07-11"When I heard the news of Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Jia Cuiying's death from lung cancer on October 20, 2004, as a result of the persecution in the Hunan Provincial Women's Prison, I was upset for a long time. In grief and indignation, I reflected on the knowledge that the healthy and optimistic Ms. Jia would never have died so prematurely if it weren't for the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners perpetrated by Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If the Hunan Provincial Women's Prison authorities hadn't tormented her physically and mentally, she would still be alive."
