***during a 60-day jail stint on an assault charge. ***

Since when does a jailbird get to dictate the rules of their incarceration? Don’t like it? Don’t do the crime!

If true, extremely disturbing, and she's right to sue the dickens out of them.

If false...

We don't have the whole story here.

“she was forced to attend Christian church services during a 60-day jail stint”

Outrageous! We must be more civilized and humane—perhaps adopting the mohammedan practice of beheading an infidel like her instead?

I’m certainly not on her side, philosophically , but it sure seems a dumb thing for the corrections officers to do.

“Is she an original muslim or a converted muslim?”.

Here's my guess: Black Converted (could be first timer but doubtful)

Yeah, a law enforcement organization forcing someone to participate in religious services under threat of punishment sure seems like a government establishment of religion.

They always should be put in a jail cell that is next to a cell holding a rogue pig.
