A civil rights group in Washington D.C. has filed a federal lawsuit against several Alaska corrections officials, alleging that Muslim inmates at the Anchorage Correctional Complex are not being given enough food during the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan, which started about a week ago, requires Muslims to only eat and drink after dusk and before dawn. According to the Department of Corrections, Muslim inmates are each given two bagged meals every night to eat in their cells, so they’re able to break their fast during those hours.

But the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, says these bagged meals sometimes contain as little as 500 calories, and are not enough to sustain the inmates.

“Moreover, repeatedly the sandwiches they've been provided contain pork bologna which is forbidden for Muslims to eat, so if they can't even eat the sandwiches that are included in these bags then the total calories are just a couple cookies and not much else,” said Carolyn Homer, a CAIR trial attorney.

CAIR on Tuesday filed a lawsuit in federal court against several corrections officials, including DOC Commissioner Dean Williams. The department said it couldn’t comment on the ongoing litigation, but said in a written statement that it accommodates about 30 different faiths and religions at its facilities, including Islam.

“To the best of our ability, in accordance with Islamic Law, we are providing our Muslim residents the opportunity to succeed during Ramadan by being able to abstain totally from food and drink between dawn and dusk,” wrote D.O.C. spokesperson Megan Edge in an email.

CAIR’s lawsuit names two ACC inmates as plaintiffs, but alleges that more inmates are experiencing a similar problem. The organization expects a hearing to be scheduled in the next few days.
