Muslim cleric officer sent two orthodox inmates to solitary confinement

Muslim of Palestinian serving as an officer at the Fort Dix in New Jersey, sent two orthodox prisoners to solitary confinement.

Two Orthodox prisoners serving long sentences in prison "Fort Dix" in New Jersey have been sitting for two weeks in solitary confinement due to their desire to fulfill the mitzvahs.

Yosef Shereshevsky the son of the Rosh Yeshiva Chaim Berlin Yeshiva is serving a prison sentence of 20 years.

The second is Yitzchak Smat, a resident of Kiryat Yoel is in his 13th year, of 20 assigned to him.

Letters of complaint sent by the two to Jewish leaders in New York, said that the prison chaplain, a Muslim of Palestinian descent, is doing everything to harass them.

Chairman of the "Dror" organization, Rabbi Yoel Levine says that in the prison there is more than a minyan of Jews including Israelis who became Baalei Teshiva in prison.
The chaplain decided to allow prisoners just one prayer in a minyan on Shabbos. While in the past, Jews were allowed to pray all the prayers in public.

In addition he also abolished the custom of Seuda Shlishis and Melave Malke. On Yom Kippur he prohibited all prayers.

Shereshevsky, and Smat, complained about it, and the officer took revenge on them. He accused the two of sedition and two were placed in solitary confinement.

"Life is very difficult in the dungeon," says Levine. "The two men were prohibited to go out for prayers or see the light of day, of the 24 hours they sit in the dungeon, they take them out on a small courtyard for an hour. Public is asked to pray for the two," Levine requests.
