Moussazadeh v. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, et al.
On October 11, 2005, The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty filed suit against the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for denying kosher meals to a Jewish prisoner in violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA). The Becket Fund, an interfaith, nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting the free expression of all religious traditions, joined forces with Latham & Watkins LLP to represent inmate Max Moussazadeh who must, according to the tenets of his Jewish faith, eat only that which is kosher.
While the majority of state prison systems, including the Federal Bureau of prisons, have all adopted programs which allow inmates to satisfy their religious dietary needs, Texas is among the few remaining states that still deny religious inmates the opportunity to partake in religious meal programs. Florida and Georgia state prison systems similarly violate RLUIPA by failing to accommodate religious dietary needs.
