Too bad, this man is a convicted murderer, he should feel lucky he is still alive and able to even eat, Unlike his victims.
Maybe a steady diet of Bacon will help the man get over his delusional religious views.

A death row inmate says the Ohio prison system is denying him meals prepared according to Islamic law -- known as halal -- while at the same time providing kosher meals to Jewish prisoners, according to a federal lawsuit that alleges a civil rights violation.
Condemned inmate Abdul Awkal says the prison system's failure to provide the halal meals is a restraint on his religious freedoms.
Awkal, joined by a second inmate not on death row, says the vegetarian and non-pork options offered by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction aren't good enough. The inmates say the food must be prepared in specific fashion, such as ensuring that an animal is butchered by slitting its throat and draining its blood, to conform with Islamic beliefs.
"The issue of eating Halal meals is especially important to me because I face a death sentence," Awkal said in a filing in federal court earlier this year. "It is important to me that I follow the requirements of my faith as I approach death."

40 Al Qaeda Militants Escape Jail in Yemen
Excellent, sounds like a good reason to unleash the drones in Yemen.
Foxnews
SANAA, Yemen -- At least 40 Al Qaeda militants escaped from prison Wednesday in the latest sign that Yemen's political upheaval has emboldened them to challenge authorities in the country's nearly lawless south.
In a carefully choreographed escape, the militants attacked their guards and seized their weapons just as bands of heavily armed attackers descended on the prison in Mukalla on the Arabian Sea.
The escapees included militants convicted on terror charges or held in protective custody pending trial, according to officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Reports of Prison Rapes of Iranian Dissidents Spark Call for Protests
From a country that is brutally harsh on Gay men, hanging them in public without trials; They thrive on raping men in Prison!
Foxnews
As Iranian students call for demonstrations on Sunday as a sign of solidarity with jailed student leader Majid Tavakoli, the blogosphere is buzzing over another imprisoned figure who has written an incendiary letter exposing the sordid details of sexual assaults against political prisoners and others.
Journalist Mehdi Mahmoudian, serving a five-year prison sentence in Rejaie Shahr prison, wrote a September 2010 letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The letter has just been published on Kaleme, a website close to Mir Hossein Mousavi, the man who challenged President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the last elections.
Mahmoudian, a member of the Society for the Defense of Prisoners’ Rights, which advocates “democratic interpretations of Islam,” says it is his religious duty to alert Khamenei’s attention to the abuses taking place in prison. Most shockingly, he writes in great detail about men being raped in the prison.
“Throughout the different quarters of Rajaei Shahr prison, sodomy has become a commonplace routine occurrence. And it seems that to lessen the dangers of contamination, prison guards provide health products to inmates.”
Mahmoudian does not use the word condoms, but that is the implication when he discusses “health products.” His letter goes on to say “anyone with a little beauty of the face, but who lacks physical strength in his arms or money in his account to pay extortionists, will be paraded in different rooms, and each quarter has a boss who will make money from this, and after a while can sell him to another.”
According to the account of one political prisoner, a young man was raped seven times during a single night. “In the morning, when he complained about this to the guards, he was transferred to solitary.” Mahmoudian claims prison guards effectively use inmates as “rent boys,” selling them off for as much as $250.

17 die in attempted Iraq prison break
Apparently distraught, members of Al Qaida took their chances at escaping prison; they were very upset over Osama Being fed to the Fishes.
Unfortunately for them they were Killed just like Osama, With Bullets.
11 dead Al Qaida, 6 dead prison guards.
Associated press
BAGHDAD — The man accused of masterminding an attack on a Baghdad church last year wrestled a gun from a guard at a detention facility, freed his comrades and launched an hours-long assault that ended with 17 people dead, including a top counterterrorism officer, officials and witnesses said.
Abu Huthaifa al-Battawi, the man accused by authorities of plotting the October attack on an Iraqi church killing 68 people, nearly drove out of Baghdad's Ministry of Interior with fellow inmates before being gunned down by guards.
The melee at the sprawling compound raises questions about how a group of prisoners at what is supposed to be one of the most secure facilities in the country managed to launch such a fierce attack.

Afghanistan recaptures 65 inmates
surprisingly Afghanistan is making an effort to recapture these Taliban rejects, you would think they would not even care.
...Rumor has it the 65 were caught at the triple T goat Ranch.
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghan authorities said Tuesday they have recaptured 65 of the more than 400 inmates who slipped out of a southern Afghanistan prison a day earlier through a nearly quarter-mile tunnel dug beneath the compound.
A massive search operation continues to find the others -- many of them insurgent fighters, said the Kandahar governor's office.
The Taliban issued a statement taking responsibility for the escape from the prison in Kandahar, the Taliban's birthplace. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahed said digging the tunnel took five months. The escape took four and a half hours, he said.
The Taliban claimed 541 prisoners escaped. The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said the number of escaped prisoners was closer to 470. The Taliban said 106 of the escapees were military commanders, but there was no immediate government confirmation of the claim.

Cry Baby Jihadist in Detroit!
The panty bomber is none too happy couped up in his cell with no Jihad material to read.
TOO BAD!
Sit and sweat it out you little bitch!
If you can't do the time?
Freep.com
The so-called underwear bomber charged with trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner says prison life hasn’t been so good for him, claiming that he’s been denied certain reading materials and commissary items.
“I feel – how should I say – I’m being treated unjustly and unfairly by the government,” Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab told a federal judge in Detroit today.
Abdulmutallab, who has insisted on representing himself thus far, told his grievances to U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Edmunds during a pretrial conference.
During the hearing, Abdulmutallab said that he hasn’t been able to call his lawyer when he wants. He also said prison officials canceled one of his magazine subscriptions – he did not name the magazine -- and have told him that he is not allowed to read “inflammatory” material.
“That leaves me with nothing but a few religious books and certain fiction,” Abdulmutallab said, later adding, “I think that’s very unfair. They can pretty much take any reading material and say there’s inflammatory (material) in that.”

Detainees don police uniforms in Iraq jailbreak
What a joke, how did these guys get the Uniforms the Police force wears?
It is quite odd that there were only twelve prisoners at the jail and twelve Uniforms were there for the Taking.
Foxnews
A dozen terror suspects disguised in police uniforms broke out of an Iraqi jail Friday, prompting a manhunt across the nation's south for what officials called a dangerous group of top-ranking insurgents linked to al-Qaida.
At least two of the suspects had formerly been held at Camp Bucca, the sprawling prison on Iraq's southern border with Kuwait where the U.S. military held tens of thousands of suspected insurgents — all of whom were transferred to Iraqi custody when the prison camp closed in September 2009.
The 12 suspects were awaiting trial when they obtained the police uniforms and walked out of the small, temporary detention center in one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces before dawn in the southern port city of Basra, said three Iraqi security officials.
Iraqi security forces immediately set up checkpoints on two major northbound highways to stop cars, asking all police to display their official ID cards as they urgently tried to track down the suspects. Basra is Iraq's second-largest city and is located 340 miles (550 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad.

About 140 inmates escape Mexican border prison
Mexico's Prison system is just worthless.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — About 140 inmates escaped Friday from a state prison in the northern Mexico border city of Nuevo Laredo, across the border from Laredo, Texas.
The federal Interior Department blamed the breakout on local authorities, saying they did not properly guard the facility.
"The absence of effective methods of guarding and control by local authorities is deplorable, and it has caused frequent escapes from prisons that put the public at risk," the department said in a statement.
It called on state authorities to clean up their prison and judicial systems by increased screening and vetting of corrections officers. In past cases, prison guards — often underpaid or under threat from gangs — have been implicated in prison escapes.
Federal police were dispatched to patrol the area, and roadblocks were set up to search for escaped prisoners.

Somali sentenced to 30 years for U.S. warship attack
Take part in a murderous terrorist plot, aid Al Qaida in every way possible, we will drop Most of the Charges and only give you 20 Years(Possibly with time off for being a good little bitch)
Hijack a naval ship without killing anyone, you get 30 Years!
See how the Obama Administration is absolutely clueless, PRICELESS!
(Reuters) - A Somali man who pleaded guilty for his role in an attack against the USS Ashland warship in April was sentenced on Monday to 30 years in prison, the first sentencing in a U.S. piracy case in more than 150 years.
Jama Idle Ibrahim, 38, was one of six men brought to the United States and charged with the April 10 attack on the USS Ashland, a warship that supports amphibious operations, in the Gulf of Aden. They mistook the ship for a merchant vessel.
"Piracy is a growing threat throughout the world, and today's sentence, along with last week's convictions, demonstrates that the United States will hold modern-day pirates accountable in U.S. courtrooms," said U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride.
Ibrahim in August pleaded guilty to attacking to plunder a vessel, acts of violence against persons on a vessel, and use of a firearm during a crime of violence.
It was the first sentencing in a U.S. court in more than 150 years for acts of piracy, MacBride said...
Last week, a jury in Norfolk, Virginia convicted five men from Somalia on piracy and other related charges for a separate attack on April 1 on the USS Nicholas Navy frigate

China detains Nobel Peace Prize winner's wife
Nice move china.
Fu**ing Douchbags.
(Reuters) - Chinese authorities are detaining the wife of jailed Chinese dissident and Nobel Peace Price laureate Liu Xiaobo at her Beijing apartment, a U.S. human rights group said on Sunday.
In a statement, Freedom Now said that Liu Xia has not been charged with a crime but has not been allowed to leave her home or use her mobile telephone after visiting her husband in jail to tell him about his award.
When he heard the news, Liu Xiaobo cried and said the Nobel "award is for the Tiananmen martyrs," according to the Washington-based group, which said it represents the Chinese dissident. The group works worldwide for the release prisoners of conscience and provides free legal counsel.
Freedom Now lawyer and spokeswoman Beth Schwanke said one of the group's human rights specialists, Yang Jianli, obtained news of Liu Xia's detention from a source in China they could not name over fears that the informant would also be detained.

Militants break out of Tajik jail
You can't keep an Islamic Militant pinned up for to long .
That's why they should be Killed !
BBC
Twenty-five prisoners, including several Islamic militants, have escaped from a prison in the Central Asian state of Tajikistan, reports say.
The break-out took place on Sunday night in the capital, Dushanbe. The group are said to have killed at least five prison guards as they fled.
Border forces are now on alert.
Tajikistan, which borders Afghanistan, had a five-year civil war between the Moscow-backed government and Islamist-led opposition. The war ended in 1997.
Reports said that the group seized guns and killed prison personnel in a fire-fight before making their escape.
A report from Tajikistan's Asia-Plus news website said that the escapees included Russian and Afghan citizens, as well as members of an Islamic militant group.

Mexico prisoners 'freed for killings' in Durango state
This is one of the reasons you will never see the Cartels being stopped in Mexico .
Corruption on top of Corruption , Everyone is a crook .
BBC
Guards at a prison in Durango state are accused of lending the inmates weapons and vehicles to commit the murders in neighbouring Coahuila state before returning them to their cells.
The same group of prisoners are thought to have carried out other killings.
The prison director and at least two other officers are under investigation.
The killings in the city of Torreon in Coahuila state were traced to Gomez Palacio prison in neighbouring Durango state through bullets found at the crime scene, which matched assault rifles assigned to the guards, attorney-general's office spokesman Ricardo Najera said.
"They were allowed out of prison to kill using the weapons of the guards and travelling in official vehicles," he said.
Mr Najera said the prisoners were acting as contract killers for a drugs gang, and were thought to have carried out two other mass killings in Torreon earlier this year using the same weapons.
"The criminals carried out the executions as part of a settling of accounts with members of a rival organised crime gang. But they also killed innocent civilians in a cowardly manner before returning to their cells."
Investigators are questioning all of the prison guards as well as about half the inmates in the prison.

UPDATE...Mexico prison gang fighting kills 29
At this rate someday there won't be anyone left to kill !
And notice how they never question how the inmates got the guns ? We are talking about assault rifles here !
BBC
A clash between rival gangs in a prison in Mexico's north-western state of Sinaloa has left 29 inmates dead.
The killings brought the number of dead on another day of apparent drug-related violence to more than 40.
In the western state of Michoacan, 12 police officers died in an ambush by suspected drug cartel gunmen.
Michoacan and Sinaloa are home to rival drug gangs that are fighting turf wars and battling security forces.
Officials said 18 inmates had died in the Mazatlan jail in Sinaloa when members of one gang armed with pistols and an assault rifle forced their way into a cell-block holding prisoners from a rival gang and began shooting.
Eleven others had been stabbed to death as fighting broke out in other parts of the prison, they said.

Kilpatrick imprisoned, faces 1½ to 5 years
HA HA !
Bye Bye Kwame , Enjoy The fruits of your labor !
Oh he will Be fine in the Big house , Maybe he can spend the time learning a new trade .
I bet this somBitch will even collect Unemployment !
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick entered the Michigan state prison system today after being sentenced to 1½ to five years for violating his probation.
His imprisonment, imposed today by Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner, also cost Kilpatrick his job.
“Kwame Kilpatrick will be off the Compuware Corporation payroll at the end of the month," said a company statement. "We don’t have any choices. It’s an unfortunate situation, and we feel bad for his family, but our hands are tied.”
Leaders across metro Detroit also called the situation unfortunate, but they said it was time to move on.
Earlier, a frustrated Groner ordered Kilpatrick to serve 18 months to five years in prison, declaring that Kilpatrick had lied while on probation and maliciously hid money that was supposed to go toward repaying the City of Detroit $1 million in restitution.
“Your testimony in this court amounted to perjury,” Groner said, alluding to the ex-mayor’s explanations for how hundreds of thousands of dollars passed through his family’s bank accounts without being accounted for, or applied to, Kilpatrick’s restitution obligations.

Prosecutors seek 2- to 5-year sentence for Kilpatrick
HA, HA ,
And I hope he Gets it ! It would serve him right after what he has done to Detroit , And when his sentence is up , Texas Can have Him back .
The Freep.com
The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office is recommending a sentence of 2-5 years in prison for former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick for violating his probation from the text message scandal by failing to meet financial reporting obligations and not turning over tax refunds and political money.
The recommendation was made in a sentencing memorandum filed this afternoon with the court clerk’s office.
The memo states that the sentencing guideline of 0-17 months “does not adequately reflect the severity of his conduct.” It goes on to state that “the defendant cannot show any rehabilitative potential when he continuously lies to the court and indeed has defrauded the court and the City of Detroit out of its rightfully owed restitution payments.”
In his sentencing memo, defense lawyer Michael Alan Schwartz said it’s best for everyone – except the former mayor’s most bitter haters – to keep Kilpatrick outside and drumming up sales for Covisint, a subsidiary of Detroit-based Compuware, so he can pay the city.
But he has been working , and he still is not paying

Sold, raped and jailed, a girl faces Afghan justice
Nice justice system Afghanistan has .
Reading about situations like this girl is in , Makes a Good case For beating the Crap out of Islamic Radicals around the world !
I think These Judges that rule the way they do need to be imprisoned and raped while in there ,
Oh Sorry I forgot , They like that kind of thing !
(Reuters) - For the shy Afghan girl who sat quietly in a detention center with a pale blue headscarf, teenage rebellion had come at a heavy price: seven years in prison.
Engaged to an older man who had offered $5,000 to her father but in love with a boy she spoke to on the phone, the 16-year-old girl was hauled before a court that found her guilty of running away from home, according to an account she provided.
"I was engaged to an older man and I was not happy. He was painting his beard black," said the girl, who cannot be named because of rules protecting juvenile detainees.
Now pregnant, she said she did not know who the baby's father was, adding she had slept with both the boy she was in love with and the man she was engaged to. She also said she had been raped while in detention before being sent to the Kabul facility. The girl's story offers a glimpse into the nature of Afghanistan's rudimentary justice system, underscoring the uphill task ahead as U.S. President Barack Obama calls for improving the rule of law to match military gains in the country.
Obama has ordered an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to beat back a resurgent Taliban, but officials also recognize progress on civilian issues like corruption, governance and justice will be essential to bringing stability to the country.
"I've seen travesties in court," said Kimberly Motley, a U.S. lawyer who interviewed 348 detainees, judges and others for a report on the juvenile justice system and also represents the pregnant Afghan girl in an effort to win her freedom.
"I've seen kids not even being brought into court for their hearing. Cases without any witnesses. And more times, no evidence than any evidence. And the verdict is always guilty."
Young girls usually fare the worst within the system, she said. In a deeply conservative Muslim society where women were banned from education during Taliban rule, anything from trying to escape a forced marriage to walking down the street with a boy who is not a relative can land them in jail.
NO-WIN SITUATION
About half the young girls locked up in Afghan detention centres are charged with "moral crimes" like running away from home and adultery, Motley said. At times, runaways are booked on the surreal charge of "kidnapping" themselves, she said.
Though Afghan law does not specifically cite moral crimes like running away as illegal, judges often use Article 130 that allows courts to "rule in a way that attains justice in the best manner" when faced with a case where other laws do not apply.
Reading about situations like this girl is in , Makes a Good case For beating the Crap out of Islamic Radicals around the world !
I think These Judges that rule the way they do need to be imprisoned and raped while in there ,
Oh Sorry I forgot , They like that kind of thing !
(Reuters) - For the shy Afghan girl who sat quietly in a detention center with a pale blue headscarf, teenage rebellion had come at a heavy price: seven years in prison.
Engaged to an older man who had offered $5,000 to her father but in love with a boy she spoke to on the phone, the 16-year-old girl was hauled before a court that found her guilty of running away from home, according to an account she provided.
"I was engaged to an older man and I was not happy. He was painting his beard black," said the girl, who cannot be named because of rules protecting juvenile detainees.
Now pregnant, she said she did not know who the baby's father was, adding she had slept with both the boy she was in love with and the man she was engaged to. She also said she had been raped while in detention before being sent to the Kabul facility. The girl's story offers a glimpse into the nature of Afghanistan's rudimentary justice system, underscoring the uphill task ahead as U.S. President Barack Obama calls for improving the rule of law to match military gains in the country.
Obama has ordered an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to beat back a resurgent Taliban, but officials also recognize progress on civilian issues like corruption, governance and justice will be essential to bringing stability to the country.

Five sentenced to death over Iran vote unrest
No trial ? Death sentences , what a shock !
No Human rights violations here ...Move along !....
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Five people have been sentenced to death and 81 have received jail terms of up to 15 years in connection with unrest after Iran's disputed election in June, state broadcaster IRIB reported on Tuesday.
Citing a statement by the public relations office of Tehran's provincial court listing verdicts issued so far over post-vote incidents, it said those sentenced to death were affiliated to or members of "counter-revolutionary groups."
The same court said last month that death sentences had been handed down against three people over the street unrest and links to exiled opposition organizations.
It was not immediately clear if the five cited in Tuesday's statement were the same as those reported by an Iranian rights group earlier this week to have been sentenced to death.
The IRIB report did not name any of the accused nor say when the sentences were handed down.
