FL To Resume Jailhouse Kosher Meals
The state says it will again serve kosher meals to inmates after more than five years without them.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Corrections confirmed the change Monday.
It comes five months after the federal government sued the state, saying the lack of kosher meals forced inmates to violate their core religious beliefs each day.
Many Muslim inmates had also relied on the kosher meals because the state doesn't offer halal food to prisoners. When corrections officials ended the kosher meals in 2007 they cited cost and said it would be unfair to satisfy some religious preferences and not others.
