This investigation looked into an incident where one night while a group of Muslim men were praying. A group of prison officials entered the room and began to pepper spray them and beat them. I investigated what took place that night as well as a pattern of racism towards Muslims in this prison.

In February 2021, seven men sat down to pray in a Missouri prison. Within minutes, guards put them in shackles and covered them in pepper spray.
The incident highlights the dangers Muslims face practicing their religion in prison, @khawlanakua.bsky.social reports.
