Inmates at Miami-Dade County jails have been complaining for months that the meals they’re receiving behind bars are not halal, and therefore a violation of their constitutional rights.

CAIR Florida and the ACLU are assisting the inmates with their complaints. Thania Diaz-Clevenger of CAIR-Florida, said:
