To accommodate Muslim comlainers, an Ohio Prison Director Gary C. Mohr banned pork from all kitchen in all prisons under control of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The Muslims had threatened a lawsuit to demand "halal" meals and kitchens, so ODRC entirely removed pork and forced all Christian prisoners to eat Muslim food.
One brave Christian prisoner, James Rivers, filed a lawsuit opposing the enforcement of Muslim "Sharia" law upon all the prisoners, and demanded his right to eat pork.
"Plaintiff asserts that this...violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, subjects him to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eight Amendment, denies him substantive and procedural due process, and denies him Equal Protection," reads the complaint. Sadly, the federal judge James S. Guin threw out the case, ruled against all Christian prisoners, and enforced Sharia Muslim dietary law in all Ohio prisons

Doubt there is a Right to eat pork, but do they ban anything that isn't Kosher also? Seems like Hala & Kosher should be an option, but not allowed to rule out noncompliant food.
