The Council on American–Islamic Relations is a Muslim civil liberties advocacy organization that deals with civil advocacy. It is headquartered on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., with regional offices nationwide.
Last week, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons unexpectedly banned bacon, pork chops, ham and every other kind of pork from the three meals served each day to federal inmates in 122 federal penitentiaries.
Officials with the Bureau of Prisons insist that they made the decision without giving any thought whatsoever to religious accommodations for prisoners, reports The Washington Post.
Instead, the administrators say they are responding to the results of a prisoner food preferences survey. They just want to make prisoners happy, see, and America's 205,723 federal prisoners don't want to eat bacon and other pork.
"Pork has been the lowest-rated food by inmates for several years," prison bureau spokesman Edmond Ross told the Post.
Ross also claimed that pork has become more expensive and that hardened federal prisoners "are more health conscious these days."
