The food is better in the kosher kitchen. If the government can't have a relitious test, how do they stop convicts from saying they're Jews?

    Hello excon.

    I don't think they can.  As for me, yes, better food is absolutely a reason to convert.  If I was in jail, I would want the kosher meal plan.  Does that include Hebrew National hot dogs, potato knishes, and rugelach?

  • Is a prison obligated to cater to Kocher, Halal or other dietary requests?

    "Federal prisons offer kosher, halal and vegetarian meals. Muslim prisoners of war at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba are served halal meals.
    John Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, which defends religious freedoms, said prisons have gotten better when it comes to accommodating inmate diet restrictions."

    State prisons vary but prisoners are filing lawsuits over the issue.  Some are winning, others not so much.
