I'm building a luxury prison (first time for more than a basic one). 
My question is, how do I encourage filling up the 3 squares of food stockpiles in each cell?
The prison is 12 z-levels and about 30 squares away from the normal food stockpiles at the dining room.
If I can get them to fill the stockpiles then I can lock the main prison door to keep them from eating it all before a prisoner is incarcerated.

I regularly fill small food stockpiles scattered all over the fort.  I just have a main food stockpile by the kitchens, and it's set to give to all the others.  As long as the main one is kept from running empty, the rest are always topped off.  I also have at least 1 dwarf who only has food hauling enabled. 

Edit: The full time food hauler started to prevent prepared meals from rotting in the kitchens, but keeping the other food stocks full is a fairly full time job too.

Duh!  Why didn't I think of doing the "give" thing?  It's something I do in other cases. Thanks!
