Obviously there shouldn't be pork in there on purpose but at the end of the day who cares.

Those people in jail can't be that concerned about their religious principles if they're in jail in the first place.

Don't tell us, tell Muslims. The tenets of Islam contain no clear divide between religion and law.

Nah...they are allowed to eat Pork if it's the difference between life and death. And unknowingly eating it isn't a 'mortal sin' either...it's just something that's 'against the ways of the prophet'.

It is highly disrespectful to taint Halal food with pork though.

Violation of human rights by abusing Muslim and Jewish dietary laws = meh...

Vegetarians issue with their prison meat is that there may be trace amounts of human?

Just because someone is in jail doesn't automatically make them a spineless, moral less scumbag, like a person who beats women and children. They could be deeply religious people who may have defaulted on a fine or something. Even so, it's the principle of it, why say Halal, when it isn't.

Maybe if they didn't break the law and end up in prison they'd have better control of what they eat.

FloatingVoter · 02-02-2013 06:46PM

Let them eat horse.

What if I told you not everyone in prison has broken the law. Mind blown? Some are there on remand awaiting trial and are therefore innocent until proved guilty.

Also would you force feed vegetarians meat in prison? Would you support Hindus being given the choice of beef stew or go hungry?

woodoo · 02-02-2013 09:46PM

Yeah so what if they eat a bit of pork.

That report on sky news was funny they took the opportunity to have a go at the Muslims. They mentioned that they were 5% of the UK population but 13% of the prison population was Muslim. Some other pinit about 1 in 5 but i can't remember that one.

Luckily, these boys aren't living in a tenet, they're living in the Big House, and when in Rome, etc etc. If horse is ok for the general public, a bit of pig is fine for crims, IMO. I presume all hallal will break loose over this though, I can hear the protests crackling away from here.

Bread and water should be the only thing they get .
