Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:57:49 GMT

An inmate is suing the D.C. Department of Corrections after he claimed chaplains did not provide kosher meals he would otherwise be entitled to as a Jewish detainee in its correctional facilities.A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia on Thursday alleged that officials unlawfully refused to provide Riley Benjamin, who has been in D.C. custody since July 2022, with kosher meals unless he submitted to external verification of his faith.That verification placed “an excessive and undue burden” that isn’t exercised over Christian or Muslim inmates, an ACLU spokesperson said.“D.C. Jail officials’ practice of denying kosher meal requests to Jewish people unless they can provide third-party proof of their religion, either through a rabbi or a formal letter of conversion, violates federal law and ignores the deeply personal nature of faith and spirituality,” Laura Follansbee, a legal fellow at the ACLU-D.C. and counsel ...
