[The lawsuit claims] inmates at the Anchorage jail observing Ramadan are being given dangerously meager meals, including being served bologna sandwiches containing pork.

The DOC says the bologna was made of turkey and the department is making every effort to accommodate the religious practices of Muslim prisoners.

The Alaska lawsuit, filed Tuesday, asks for an emergency injunction that would force the DOC to change its Ramadan dietary policy.

"To the best of our ability, in accordance with Islamic law, we are providing our Muslim residents the opportunity to succeed during Ramadan," Edge wrote in an email.


Okay wait, why is "Islamic Law" being 'practiced' in a jail cell to begin with??
