#1 Here's a crazy thought.
Quit breaking the goddamned law, asshole.
You'll find the food is always better on the outside.

#2 I don't recall any law regarding the prison food to cater to the prisioner's whims, only to feed nourishing and wholesom foods, does this mean I can tell jailers that my religion requires me to consume only medium-rare porterhouse steak,
sugar cured ham, lobster, and veal? goodie.

#3 I'm speechless at the insanity of this.

What's wrong with 'fatty and salty tinned meat' in jail? Spam or chipped beef are classic fare for jails all over (and for campers, boy scouts, and the 'income-challenged' folk).

When the bulk of their prisoners are Muslim (soon?), then perhaps halal food service is reasonable - but even then, not 'fresh'. The bastard was (and should still be) in jail for some variety of pedophelia (isn't that also protected under religious discrimination laws?)

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

#4 So hows about a nice bowl of soy kibble? No nasty meat in there. Can you say VitaPro?

#5 Soylent Green, made from Moslems, that would work.

#9 Glenmore, have you priced Spam lately? That's rich folks fare now. (Don't ask what floor sweepings are in it!)

#11 This really points out how crazy our prison system is. They should all be on vegitarian diets. Let them sip soy-broth from a bread bowl. No utensils at all.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

#12 Oh, and the entire populace should be informed that it was Muslim requests and this lawsuit that caused them the change in diet.
