Vegan Inmate awarded vegan meals in prison
BOSTON - A federal judge has ruled that the state’s prison system violated a convicted child killer’s civil rights by denying him a vegan diet.
U.S. Chief District Judge Mark Wolf ruled this week that the Department of Correction violated federal law protecting religious freedom and ordered the department to provide Daniel Yeboah-Sefah a diet in line with his Buddhist beliefs.

I'm conflicted about blogging this story. This guy beat his 5-week old son to death. He apparently has changed his ways and is vegan now. I believe all vegans should be allowed to have food choices, even in prison. Poor baby though.
