A Muslim inmate at the Green Rock Correctional Center in Chatham, Virginia, is suing for what he claims is the prison’s denial of accommodations during Ramadan, a monthlong religious observance that calls for fasting from dawn to sunset.
Alexander Crichlow said he converted to Islam in January but has been denied receiving breakfast before sunup and a double serving of dinner at sunset, which is in keeping with the accommodations other Muslim inmates at the mid-level facility receive, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, whose attorneys are representing the inmate.
The Muslim advocacy group said “there is nothing difficult about prison officials providing Crichlow exactly what they already provide to dozens of other Muslims” who are incarcerated at Green Rock.
