Kosher food started under the old jewish levitical law, if they want to go by that law than let them be judged by it as well. By disobeying your parents the penalty was to be stoned to death.

Give them a couple slices of bread, a cup of water and let them do whatever prayer they want over it prior to eating it.

THEY ARE IN JAIL!!!!! In my opinion, theirs rights were taken away when they did not walk the line everyone else has to walk. I for one DO NOT CARE what they will or will not eat. Maybe they should be a decent member of society and then they can make their own decisions again. We allow abused children to go back to their crappy abusive parents but if they kill them and end up in jail, we will make sure their needs are met. I hope no one wonders why our world is in rapid decline.

I have worked in Prisons and Jails. I have caught inmates who said they were Muslims and want to participate in Ramadan. Ramada time is where you do not eat during the daylight. I have caught many inmates who eat off other inmates trays during this time period during daylight hours. It is a way to getting extra food from the kitchen. This is no more than a gimmick those inmates use to manipulate the system. Eric Holder and Judges have never worked in or around inmates. If they had, they would now when an inmate is trying to be manipulative. We would also get back to serving your time the hard way. One last thought, what about the jail in AZ? I wonder what Sheriff Joe would tell DOJ if they told him to server kosher and not bologna sandwiches.….

This ruling is just STUPID.
Again, I feel like these judges should have the inmates in their homes working.
In this case the cooks should be fixing Kosher for the judge and his kin and let’s see how that works out.
Sleep easy ya honor, the cook is in the kitchen with utensils.

Political correctness has run-amok. The camel’s nose is way past the tent flap. Some people might understand that statement. Or, at a certain point, it is way too late to close the barn door. Just trying to touch base with all beliefs…darn sure don’t want to offend anyone.

Said it before, will probably say itanother million times. “You just cant fix stupid”. Even when its a govt. official. If you dont like what they serve in prison, DONT BREAK THE LAW! Geez. In Japan you get fish heads and rice. Dont like it, dont eat it. I promise, you will get hungry enough to eat whatever is in front of you eventually. If we MUST offer kosher food? Well PB&J and Ramen noodles are kosher. And cheap too.

I wonder how many of these inmates would stick with a Kosher diet if you put out a huge tray of BBQ pork ribs and another tray of pulled pork from one of the really good BBQ places? That would really test their sincerity!
