I like a prison that supplies footbaths...
I don't think I'd want to be housed at one that didn't....
Figures obtained from the Ministry of Justice under the Freedom of Information Act show that the money was spent on two footbaths, a "squat" toilet and a shower area at Canterbury Prison in Kent, which only holds foreign nationals awaiting deportation and has 92 Muslim inmates.
Footbaths are often used by Muslims as they are required to wash their feet before prayer. However, the area is not exclusive to Muslims and can be used by all inmates.
The expenditure was condemned by the TaxPayers' Alliance.
Matthew Elliott, chief executive, said: "It's ridiculous that we are spending so much money on prisoners who should have been deported, rather than kept here as a burden on innocent taxpayers.
Other measures have been taken to accommodate the prison's global population, including a multi-faith area allowing all inmates to practise their religion. Muslim prisoners are permitted one hour's use every Friday for prayers.
Islamic prayer timetables are provided, the Koran is available on request and an Imam is employed for 18 hours a week to carry out generic work and faith duties.

LEST WE FORGET...
The dhimmis are trying to obliterate the memory of 9/11 by renaming the anniversary 'Fluffy Bunny Day' or something similar.
Could all bloggers please remember to mark this anniversary with maximum publicity.
Also, another anniversary that the dhimmis would like to slip from public consciousness occurs next week. On the first of September 2004 a group of Islamic terrorists, following the example of their prophet 'the perfect man' , began the siege of Beslan school which resulted in the deaths of nearly 200 Christian children, with girls being raped and babies knifed. Many of the children were humiliated by being forced to drink their own urine before being killed. Humiliation of the kuffar is very important in Islam.
Please ensure this act of Islamic infamy is not forgotten.
I've little qualm with accomodating religious faith in prisons, but the key point I noted was: Why are these people here AT ALL?
