Put a spell on you

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit gave hope to Wiccan inmates that their religion will be represented in California prisons. A three-judge panel overturned a district court’s dismissal of a suit brought by female prisoners who argued the refusal to hire a full-time Wiccan chaplain violated their rights. They argued that at the Central California Women’s Facility in Cowchilla, there are more Wiccan than Jewish, Muslim or Catholic inmates. The court agreed that a possible "unconstitutional endorsement" of one religion over another might exist.
