ISKCON devotees, which is popularly known as Hare Krishna, distributed prasadam in the Prison situated at the Sanish city of Ceuta on 3rd December, 2010.
Peculiarity of this prison is that it is the only prison in the entire European Union which serves a full vegetarian menu at least once in a year to all inmates.
On Friday 3rd December, 2010, a group of ISKCON devotees in the leadership of Krishna Kripa Das and his wife Radhapriya Dasi cooked food for the inmates as well as the guards and other prison staff.
The menu includes:-
Basmati Rice, Mung Dal, Chinease noodles with vegetable mix, vegetable pakoras, Spanish puris, fruit salad etc.

Declared means those who declared themselves as Hindu’s voluntarily in respective country’s census.
Non-declared means those people who born in Christian families but later abandoned Christianity due to recent scandals, and declared themselves as “not aligned to any religion”. But a large percentage of this native populations of the respective country supports Hindu activities due to its simplicity. It is due to this native people Hinduism and Yoga is flourishing in Europe and America .
