WORLDVIEW: Jail Program Ruled Illegal
Saturday, July 7, 2001
AUSTIN, Texas -- A Christian-studies jail unit dubbed the "God Pod" violates the constitutional separation of church and state, the Texas Supreme Court has ruled.
The court said some religious programs may be allowed, such as hiring a chaplain to help inmates study their own religion. The Tarrant County program, however, went too far, the justices said.
The Christian Education Unit opened in 1992. The program was voluntary and inmates would participate for up to 120 days.
Two former inmates, one Jewish and the other a Jehovah's Witness, sued, claiming those who refused to participate were treated as second-class citizens within the jail.
The sheriff's office moved the unit's inmates into the general population after the high court issued its decision.

Note how, thanks to the complaining Jew and JW these inmates who had voluntarily chosen to partake in a Christian Studies program had to be moved back to the 'general' prison population.
