Scottish prisoners request kosher meals: They are ‘nicer'
More than 100 inmates in a Scottish prison have signed up to receive kosher meals, despite the fact that there were officially nine Jewish prisoners in Scottish jails from 2013-2014.
An official at Glenochil Prison in Clackmannanshire in Scotland said the prison must provide the kosher meals to the prisoners if they claim to have converted to Judaism, the London-based Jewish Chronicle reported Wednesday.
"Where previously we have always had a very minimal Jewish prison population we have seen a huge rise," prison spokesman Tom Fox said.
Prison officials believe the inmates think the kosher meals are "nicer."
