Freedom of Religion - Not in Virginian Inmates..

All I can really say is.. well nothing, I'm speechless...

The short version of the story is 10 years ago Rastafari inmates were placed into segregation, and remain there till this day. Why? They adhere to their religious beliefs.

We have a long history in our country about this very legal issue. It sucks.:wtf:

Pretty racist and bigotted isn't it. But then this country was founded on racism. You would think we'd be passed this by now.

Well. Long time coming.
