Religious Liberty Suit Filed by Muslim Inmate in "Supermax" Prison
A foreign-born Muslim inmate in the U.S.'s most restrictive prison complex is seeking accommodation for his religious practices under a federal statute.
The case, involving Mostafa Kamel Mostafa, highlights the extensive application of religious liberty principles in the United States.
Background
Mostafa is currently incarcerated in the ADX Florence prison in Colorado, known as the "Alcatraz of the Rockies," which is famous for its near-total state of lockdown.
- The prison houses some of the most dangerous inmates in the U.S.
- District Judge Philip Brimmer ruled that prison officials had "substantially burdened the exercise of his religion" by not installing a special cleaner in one of his cells.
The government is being asked to require the prison to accommodate Mostafa's religious practices under a key federal statute.
