Prisoners win suit for religious tolerance

Winston-Salem Journal

 

"The Supreme Court sided with a witch, a Satanist and a racial

separatist yesterday, upholding a federal law requiring state prisons

to accommodate the religious affiliations of inmates. The three Ohio

prisoners and others sued under the 2000 federal law, saying they were

denied access to religious literature and ceremonial items and denied

time to worship. The law says states that receive federal money must

accommodate prisoners' religious beliefs, with such things as special

haircuts or meals, unless wardens can show that the government has a

compelling reason not to comply." (06/01/05)
