ME points out that demanding Kosher food in jail is old news; the trend nowadays is to ask for a Succah.
A Kansas inmate recently sued when his then-prison chaplain refused his request for a Succah, saying that "placing a napkin over [the inmate's] head would fulfill the biblical injunction to dwell in a sukkah during the weeklong holiday. "
It wasn't clear how so.
The inmate -- who was convicted in 1987 of aggravated battery and in 1992 of aggravated battery and kidnapping -- was awarded $1 in nominal damages and $1,000 in punitive damages last month.
