Somewhere I read that bread has most of the essential nutrients for humans, except for vitamin C. That would mean that prisoners who were sentenced to bread and water could last many years if they had fruit occasionally.
I guess the kind of bread, and the reduced caloric needs of prisoners, play a huge role here.
