Prisoners in federal and state institutions retain certain
religious exercise rights under the Constitution and statutes
including the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act
(RLUIPA), the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and the
Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA). Many states
have similar provisions in their state constitutions and in state
law modelled on RFRA. These rights must be balanced with the
legitimate concerns of prison officials, including cost, staffing,
and, most importantly, prison safety and security. Reconciling
these rights and concerns can be a significant challenge for penal
institutions, as well as the courts. The United States Commission
on Civil Rights examined the legal foundation of prisoners'
religious exercise rights, and the rules and guidelines related to
religion in federal and state prisons and jails. It also researched
the mechanisms federal and state prisons and jails use to
facilitate religious requests (where feasible), and to record and
process prisoner grievances related to religious exercise. This
book focuses on the government's efforts to enforce federal civil
rights laws prohibiting religious discrimination in the
administration and management of federal and state prisons. This
book consists of public documents which have been located,
gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index,
selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.
