eli5: How are many male prisoners very muscular whilst in prison despite prison food often being very poor and small?

Doesn’t make sense to me as many prisoners have said that meals are “about as big enough for a 5-year-old” and often are lacking in healthy elements

As a former CO, prison meals are not portioned for children. Quality is not poor, it’s typical mass made cafeteria style food, just blander than most prefer.

In my state, if you’re in prison and of a functional age, you’re being forced to work out. Gang/race intimidation and preparation to “help your own” when a large fight pops off.

Inmates also get at least 2 hours of outdoor recreation time to workout, as well as time spent in their pods or cells to work out as well.
