ACLU: Prisons violate order on kosher diet

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is asking a judge to hold the state Department of Corrections in contempt for failing to provide four inmates with kosher food. ACLU attorney Ken Falk said the agency isn't complying with a 2010 federal court order requiring it to offer kosher meals to inmates whose religious beliefs require it. Four inmates in Michigan City, Pendleton and Putnamville prisons are asking a judge to order the state to comply with the order. An IDOC spokesman said the agency has a process for reviewing kosher diet requests that it believes complies with the court order.
