#1 Correct response:

Dear City Councillor:

Thank you for your interest in our prison quisine. We have taken immediate steps to remove all pork and meat related products from our menus.

#2 They could just serve them prison-vegetarian-sandwiches...

YUMMY VEGGIE SANDWICH:
1) Get served ham sandwich, as usual
2) Open. Remove ham. Please dispose of properly.
3) Eat. Best served warm.
4) Shut up. You're in jail...

#5 The Justice Secretary has ordered staff at the category B facility to be more diligent and prison officers will be re-trained to consider inmates' cultural and religious needs.

Looks like the inmates actually do run this asylum...

#8 Back to bread and water. Most of the Muzz scum loafers look over weight anyway. Let us know if you want some bacon on the bread for breakfast.

#9 I wonder if they would have apologized to IRA prisoners in the 60's for serving them meat on a Friday?

#11 Muslim prisoners who were offered ham sandwiches during the holy month of Ramadan

NB: They were offered. Not forced to consume. Offered. They had a choice.

Now, they're offended by having a choice to violate their faith. They're expecting the rest of us to enforce their own religious scruples.
