A Muslim man who observes a halal diet had advised correctional staff of this requirement and made it clear that under no circumstances could he eat pork or any food that contained pork. He reported that his dietary restrictions were the target of mockery and disrespect. There were several incidents where he was served pork or a food with pork product in or on it. There were incidents where the cook, the individually named respondent, told him he had put pork juice on his food, or dangled pork in his face in a taunting manner.
The superintendent agreed to hold a training session for the kitchen staff on the accommodation of special diets for religious reasons.
