I myself work in a county jail, so i cannot speak of what steps DOC has taken to accommodate this one particular religion, but in the facility I work in, it blows my mind how much attention Islam is receiving. In particular, I myself witnessed and had to serve and assist in serving special food, special food at certain times, and even serving their medication at certain times of the day during their month of Ramadan. Does ANY other religion get special treatment like this? Christianity gets a bible, catholicism allows them to order a cheap little plastic necklace off commissary, no special food or thoughts from admistration. These individuals were all brought to the facility because they broke the law, and are training and work enviroment requires us not to be discriminate against any inmate, so how is it if two inmates might be same age, sex, race, classification of security level, but one inmate gets to have this special treatment because they follow one certain type of a religion? This just does not make any sense to me, maybe I am way to big a hard a$$ about this, but they are all men in general population, and all these inmates bought the ticket in one way or another, so we need to give all of them and equal and fair ride.
