If a child does not have lunch money they eat bread and cheese that’s all…..people would rather help grown people who had a choice than to help a child that has no control over their environment.

Some of yall are crazy on here. All inmates need is 3 hots and a cot. There family can pay for there education if they like. I vote no on tax payer money going to inmates for sensless things as kosher meals. The only inmates who should get such benefits are workcamp are lower custodity inmates. These guys in prison for killing and baby rappers should be given nothing!!! Wake up people.

@Officer
Yes, the U and K symbols with circles on most of the packaged food in the canteen, or your cupboard for that matter means it has been certified kosher and theres an extra tax for it. So those honeybuns are kosher.

@Blue
I said McDonalds, not fast food. And if fast food were the best i could do, i may indeed just break a few laws. I’m extremely sorry i misspelled guard. I was at work and trying to rush. Please excuse the mistake.
@Officer
I agree totally. Inmates sell food from the chow hall. One reason i say most inmates never should get out. If they put as much effort into being innovative to survive in prison, they could surely find ways to survive outside. Some guys wash other peoples underwear and looked down upon for it, but hes not stealing.
As for honey buns, I’m under the impression they are kosher. My idea of bring kosher means being blessed by a rabbi. The little capital “U or K” on many packaged foods meant kosher i thought. Anyone know (for sure) ?

I see nothing wrong with them earning their college degrees while in prison. This well benefit everyone. Send them boys to college!

Work release inmates work at most fast food chains in pensacola and are they not felons too? And it’s guard.

Adjust to your surroundings…convicted criminals, regardless of religion.

Is there something these people do not understand about being incarceration?

Of course, there is always the bleeding heart libs that want a sentence to be as if the convicted is on vacation…and always the taxpayer foots the bill.

From first hand experience the inmates smuggle the items from their kosher diets out of the chow hall and sell them to other inmates or trade them for honeybuns that is nto a kother item. Get real people most of the thugs that receive these kosher meals have never even heard the word kosher until now…these meals are expensive to provide and this is a program that is lining someone else’s pockets that is already rich.

If an inmate truly desires to follow an archaic strict Jewish Kosher diet, rather than further burden the courts or corrections department. I’d say let them look it up them selves in a Bible and learn for themselves. Then see what is already on the cafeteria menu and pick from there what suits them and leave off what does not. They did not follow the laws of the land, We should not go out of our way to help them follow any of their desires or wishes. Like a spoiled kid at the dinner table, set in in front of them whether they eat it or not is no longer our problem.
