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."
