Prison food, not good enough for Muslims


A report by MPs, claims that Muslim inmates in British prisons are being neglected and their needs not met. Specifically in the area of Muslim's food that is served in prisons.

Kitchen staff have been ordered to make sure that the food is prepared properly to agree with Islamic laws.

New fridges will be sent to prisons around the country to store halal meat separately as not to risk contamination from non halal meat.

According to the dossier, seven thousand Muslim inmates needs are not being met after some Muslims have refused to eat the halal meat offered by prison kitchens, mainly because they feel they can not trust kitchen staff who prepare it.
