Description
This is a prisoner civil rights case brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by Jewish inmates at the State Prison of Southern Michigan ("SPSM"). They challenge a prison policy instituted in 1985 that prohibits them from congregating in weekly Sabbath services and an annual Passover Seder. The defendants-appellants/cross-appellees prison officials appeal from that portion of the district court's decision requiring them to permit an annual Passover Seder. The plaintiffs-appellees/cross-appellants inmates appeal from that portion of the district court's decision rejecting their claim to weekly Sabbath services. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the decision permitting an annual Passover Seder and reverse the denial of the inmates' claim to weekly Sabbath services.
