OB.
O C.
O D.
"I was forced to eat pork even though doing so is prohibited by my religion."
"I wasn't granted a furlough so that I could attend church services outside my facility."
"I wasn't allowed to make contact or receive documents from
my priest."
"I wasn't permitted to watch religious sermons on the television, even after requesting permission."

Answer 1

The inmate might not include the statement about not being granted a furlough in their letter, as the RLUIPA primarily focuses on protecting religious rights within the prison setting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inmate might not include the statement "I wasn't granted a furlough so that I could attend church services outside my facility" in their letter. This is because the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) primarily focuses on protecting the religious rights of inmates within the prison setting, rather than granting them furloughs to attend religious services outside the facility. The RLUIPA is designed to prevent violations such as forcing inmates to eat prohibited foods, denying access to religious documents or clergy, and restricting the ability to practice religious sermons or rituals within the prison.

Answer 2

“I was given a harsher punishment than other inmates for a disciplinary infraction because of my religious beliefs.”
