When staff at the Ottawa-Carlton Detention Centre (OCDC) would not allow a prisoner to change their medication and food schedule to accommodate Ramadan they sought out the support of a local prisoner support group. That group – the Criminalization and Punishment Education Proejct (CPEP) - reached out to friendly lawyers, who issued a notice under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Eventually the individual’s medication and food schedule were changed to accommodate their participation in Ramadan.
