In response to a lawsuit by Muslim inmates over non-Halal meats, Ohio officials have decided to remove all pork products from prison menus. The state’s pork producers and processors have criticized the move and have threatened legal action in return, over what they consider to be an unfair decision.
"We really think it's not in the best interest, frankly, of the whole prison system," said Dick Isler, executive director of the Ohio Pork Producers Council. "It seems like we're letting a small group make the rules when it really isn't in the best interest of the rest of prisoners."
