Not prison but county jail in AR. When I was young and stupid. When I was put into my cell or whatever they gave me a bible and I said I don’t need it and they said take it anyway because you are going to need it. I was raised by mom and dad. Dad was a catcholic mom was a baptist so I had to read the whole stupid thing because otherwise mom would give us an ass whooping. But never read the Quran so I thought if they offered or forced a bible on you than you should be able to get a Quran. As an agnostic I thought it was really fucked up when they told me no.
They don’t… I’m guessing you might have done time in a state prison?
In the feds you can request any approved religious texts you want. Typically the chapel will have said materials available for consumption.
Also most prisons will have large Muslim and Hebrew Israelite populations.
