Muslim inmates who were allegedly offered ham sandwiches during the holy season of Ramadan are suing for compensation.
The incident is purported to have taken place at maximum security Leeds prison, where more than 200 Muslims are being held.
The mix-up was said to have happened after prisoners were given their special nightly menus and they saw that one of the options was a 'boiled ham sandwich'. Any variant of pork is strictly forbidden according to Muslim teachings.
**Not so much Ramadan as Ramaham
After complaining to wardens, the prisoners were told the menus were a mistake. Many ordered cheese sandwiches instead, but some claimed they were still delivered ham sandwiches and ended up eating them because they were so hungry.
**So they broke their own faith because they were hungry for a night, now remind me if I am wrong but is not fasting for a holy month part of their faith?
It was reported that lawyers estimated each inmate could receive as much £10,000 compensation if the claim is proved. Tax payers will end up footing the bill.
However the the Ministry of Justice said that the menu had been incorrectly printed, but denied that any of the prisoners were forced to eat ham.
"An inappropriate menu card was printed during Ramadan. This mistake was rectified immediately," said a spokesman.
"Appropriate menu options for the Iftar evening meal were available throughout Ramadan.
"Prison services guidelines state that prisoners must have a diet which meets the requirements of their religion."
**Tell them to fuck off and if they do not like it, they should not have committed crimes in the first place and ended up in the penal system. Scrounging cunts the lot of them.

Ahh, "one of the options" as opposed to the only option. If they "ended up eating them because they were so hungry", then they can't be very committed muslims, can they?
Personally, I am surprised that there was any pig component (as opposed to water, salt and colourant) in govt purchased ham.
Now, HMG "horror box" lunches - that would be deserving of compensation.
They were that hungry that they could not last till morning, I thought they were used to fasting?
Hell if I ran the penal system it would be bread & water for all of them.
Plus leg irons and ball & chain.
That would give them something to complain about.
