As next week’s solar eclipse approaches, inmates at a New York state prison have filed a lawsuit over a lockdown that would keep them from witnessing the rare astronomical event. The six plaintiffs say the eclipse is a religious experience, and barring them from seeing it violates their constitutional right to practice their faith. Read more about the case from ABC News.
@NewsDesk Absolutely absurd that they have to claim it's religious. Maybe we should just let prisoners experience nice things every once in a while, especially when it's just "go outside."
