Entitlements of prisoners

I believe that if dietary requirements are a recognised part of an established religion they should be recognised. I don't see them as a privelege or a benefit of any sort - it's not like the prisoner is asking for brandy and cigars after every meal.

However I think if the cost of providing halal (or kosher) meat is prohibitive to the prison a vegetarian diet is an acceptable compromise.

I don't think that demanding that prisoners abandon any religious beliefs they have can possibly benefit anyone.
