or detention centers,
food
is distributed according to the religious beliefs of each inmate, taking advantage of this fact, led to an a Spanish inmate of Zaballa
prison, in Spain’s Basque Country, to change his religion, in a letter addressed to the director of the prison the unnamed prisoner declares himself a disciple of Bachus,
the Roman god of wine, and asks that he be provided with a glass of wine for
every meal, so he can properly worship his deity, “I request that my religious right be respected as well,” the
man wrote in a letter obtained by Publico, “I hereby inform the administration
that I am a disciple of the god Bacchus (the god of wine). For this reason I
request that I be provided with a glass of wine for my daily meals in order to
comply with the norms of my religion. Thanks a lot!” a great try, but, his
argument doesn’t take into consideration a crucial aspect – alcohol and
narcotic consumption is strictly prohibited in Spanish prisons, regardless of
inmates religious beliefs, even for their special New Year’s Eve dinner,
prisoners are only offered non-alcoholic beer, a good try, but failed at the first fence!
