Religious materials are being returned to prison chapel libraries, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons said, confirming plans to modify a program designed to remove religious books and videos that could incite violence.
The change follows objections by members of Congress and religious groups as was reported HERE on YW. Removal of religious material grew out of a Justice Department Inspector General report suggesting that chapel books and videos should be reviewed to ensure they were allowed under prison security policies.

do these inmates get their own succkah too?

We should continue working as hard as ever on Pidyun Shvuyim to free our brothers.
