Meals in Ohio Prisons

Earlier this year, two Ohio prisoners (one on death row) filed a lawsuit alleging violation of their civil rights, due to the fact that Muslim prisoners are not provided meals prepared according to Islamic law (halal).  In contrast, they point out, Jewish prisoners are provided kosher meals.

In response, Ohio prison administrators decided to remove pork from prison menus.  This decision, in turn, does not sit well with Ohio pork producers.
