INDIANAPOLIS — Two Muslim inmates held in a special unit at the federal prison in Terre Haute say they aren’t allowed to pray in groups as often as their religion requires and have asked a federal judge to ease limits of the Bureau of Prisons.
The June 16 lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana challenges limits on Islamic worship in the prison’s restrictive Communications Management Unit, where about 30 of the 40 inmates are Muslim.
Another ACLU lawsuit claims the unit keeps its mostly Muslim inmates in virtual isolation.
