In November, the Wyoming Department of Corrections decided to allow its Muslim inmates to time their daily meals with prayer times.
Per the Islamic pillar of salat, Muslims are supposed to pray at five specific times each day. But in Wyoming prisons, inmates are supposed to eat within 20 minutes of being served a meal. Sometimes, this forced inmates to choose between praying and eating. Now, prisoners will be allowed to eat their meals before other prisoners in order to fit in prayers at the proper times.
This case brings to mind a recent case in Ohio where Jewish prisoners were denied kosher meals. Learn more about that case here.
What do you think? Should prisoners always have religious rights? Or should certain rights be denied?
