UNCASVILLE, Conn. - A Muslim inmate in a Connecticut prison has filed a federal lawsuit, alleging he has been denied meals that conform to his religious standards.

Ricardo Collins says officials are denying his right to freedom of religion by failing to provide meat that is "halal," slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law.

The 27-year-old inmate, who is being held at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center, filed his lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Dec. 23.

Prison officials declined to comment, citing department policy on pending litigation.

Don’t let the creep go to Sheriff Joe’s place. He’ll be eating baloney.

The bastard is just lucky Im not the one feeding him.

[Grimmy]

Well heck. I guess what we need to do is push through legislation that will mandate that only oatmeal mush be served at any meal at any time to any prisoner in any prison within the US.

And make sure all the convicts know it was the mussies that made it so.

[BatGuano]

No meat at all for that jerk. Next, he'll sue because his vegetables are not beheaded in the Mooselum tradition.

Its JAIL. You can’t do the time then don’t do the crime. If he wants special meat then let him pay for it or have have his family pay the prison for it. I don’t see why he should get to eat what his religion demands. Let him eat veggies then. I wonder if he is demanding a foot bath too!

In a sane world, they’d water-board him, through him in solitary for a couple of months and feed him nothing but kosher dill pickles for a year or two.

In a sane world.

Which we are not currently in.

[samtheman]

correction: throw him in solitary

[marron]

Let him eat vegetarian.

Read “Bravo Two Zero” for a sampling of the genteel humanitarian conditions and treatment in an Islamic prison camp.

[kik5150]

Feed him Soylent Green...

[Aroostook25]

Give him no meat at all — just bread and water such as prisoners got in the Gulag Archipelago.

[cripplecreek]

Surely there must be another muslim inmate who’ll feed him some halal meat.
