Claim: The Prisoner Law (which was discussed in multiple cases such as Wolff v. McDonnell, a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that prisoners retained some due process rights when incarcerated in 1974) states that the courts respect the right to freedom of religion in prison, however, they focus largely on protecting this freedom of all prisoners equally, and prisoners may not be discriminated based on their religious beliefs but certain religious practices may be restricted in prison.
Evidence: In the United States of America, Prisoner Law refers to litigation that determines the freedoms that a prisoner either holds or loses when they are incarcerated. Important case laws have arisen through time that have either hindered or protected prisoners from certain rights. Some include the Hudson v. Palmer case which held that prisoners were not protected against searches and seizures of their prison cells and Wolff v. McDonnell that stated that prisoners shall remain entitled to some of their constitutional rights even after being incarcerated. Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 (1974), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that prisoners retained some due process rights when incarcerated. The courts respect the right to freedom of religion in prison, however, they focus largely on protecting this freedom of all prisoners equally. Prisoners may not be discriminated based on their religious beliefs but certain religious practices may be restricted in prison.
