I think that prisoners, no matter what crime they have committed, should be allowed to practice their own religion while serving their sentence. With that being said, I also believe that no one should be given special treatment. The Indiana court systems have documents that allow the Muslims in that facility to pray together once a day during Ramadan. Outside of that, they are allowed to pray together once a week. I don’t know the restrictions that each prisoner has with regards to time out of their cells, but if they have any free time outside of their cell with other inmates, they should take advantage of that time together and use it for group prayer. And as the Law Blog from the Wall Street Journal says, “most Muslims don’t adhere to the requirement of five daily prayers”. If that is truly the case then it seems as though the inmates are using the ACLU lawsuit to twist the system and benefit their own situations. Ultimately, I think the prisoners should be grateful for the opportunities they have and should not get greedy. They forfeited their rights to do as they please when they committed the crime that got them there and need to understand that although it may not seem fair, that’s life.
