Morgan Griffith launched a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal while incarcerated at the Okanagan Correctional Centre near Oliver. According to the Dec. 2 Tribunal decision, Griffith requested kosher meals and a Hebrew dictionary on several occasions while in custody in 2017 and 2018 and was given Jewish reading materials but was refused a kosher diet. The Correctional Centre said he failed to prove he was actually Jewish.
