Comments on: Judge Orders Federal Oversight Of Kosher Meals In Florida Prisons http://www.northescambia.com/2015/08/judge-orders-federal-oversight-of-kosher-meals-in-florida-prisons Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 17:56:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Too much frustration http://www.northescambia.com/2015/08/judge-orders-federal-oversight-of-kosher-meals-in-florida-prisons/comment-page-1#comment-307418 Too much frustration Thu, 24 Sep 2015 12:24:49 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=225562#comment-307418 It's weird reading all the comments, but do people not deserve some kind of dignity behind bars. It's a meal and we are not say steak and lobster. I totally understand that people who commit crimes and must do time. Got it! I also know that 80% of the criminals that are in prison committed non-violent crimes. They range from drug abuse to the average homeless guy that stole a whole chicken from your location Publix just to have a meal that day. We the people of this country need to at least understand that most of these people will return back to society. There are two private correctional corporations that finance both campaign parties and they run some of these correctional institutions. They have taken steps to privatizing prison in which I'm morally against. The idea of someone making a dollar by putting someone else in jail just calls for corruption. Maybe that's answer of the increase of incarceration in some of these prision. It's just a thought! It’s weird reading all the comments, but do people not deserve some kind of dignity behind bars.

How can it not be when crime has steadily decreased in Florida over 20 years? Yet prison population has grown 46% in the same time period." Long ago, folks noticed something like 90% of ALL crimes were committed by something like 10% of all criminals. They wrote the laws to keep the repeat offenders in prison where they could no longer prey upon the helpless. Prison population went up as they were locked in. Crime went down as they were locked away. Releasing them because crime is down is a way of saying we want more crime committed against the poor and helpless. I would like to see crime head toward zero. David for safer people REGARDING:

Going to prison can be, if you allow it, the best thing that happens to some people. They get a chance to learn and reevaluate their lives. Going to prison does not forfiet your religious rights. Some of the most sincere religious people were in prison at one time. 2/3 of the New Testament of the Bible was written by a prisoner (multiple time offender). MANY people have done things that could put them in prison, they just didn't get caught. Most people who go to prison will get out one day. How they are treated and rehabilitated will determine how they are when they do. If you put a dog in a cage and then poke him with a stick everyday, do you think he will come out a better dog? Or, do you think he might bite you? Think about it. People make mistakes. Going to prison can be, if you allow it, the best thing that happens to some people.

I would think if a person ended up in prison by doing wrong, they forfeit their right to the diet they feel more comfortable eating. Yet, all humans should eat kosher food. What are we.. not humane?

All the focus is on the DOC violating these inmates' religious tenets, yet they are likely in prison for violating one or many tenets of any religion. Someone tell me about a religion that commands it's followers to murder, rob, rape, burglarize, engage in pedophilia, mug, purse snatch, kidnap or any of the whole host of crimes people are in prison for. It would appear that the only "religion" that has an argument here is islam, as islam, the koran and sharia law require that muslims kill non-muslims, lie to non-muslims(taquiyaa), permit the rape of young girls and otherwise engage in a whole host of activities that are otherwise prohibited by the societal norms and laws of decent, civilized societies.

The food is monitered better than a schools and the inmates complain about everything. The vegetables are usually fresh and grown right in Jay. I am really sick of seeing all the bad comments and press coverage about the staff. I have not read anywhere about the 32+ Officer assualts that have occured at Century CI this year alone. Nor have I heard anything about Officers not getting any raises for seven years or the fact that their contract was broken by charging them for their retirement. If the public really saw the menu at the prison they would be outraged. Who really eats dessert , a meat, two vegetables and a starch at every meal. Wish I could afford to feed my family that way. Do the crime and the puinshment is not really all that bad anymore.
