All inmates have the right to the free exercise of their religious beliefs and the liberty of worship according to the dictates of their consciences. However, the exercise of this right may be restricted for legitimate security reasons. Inmates are not denied personal contact with accredited representatives of their respective faiths nor are they denied the opportunity to deliver a sermon during a religious service after first obtaining permission from the institutional chaplain. An inmate may, at any reasonable time, make a request to have personal contact with a clergy representative of his/her faith. No inmate will be required or expected to attend any religious programs or services, or to adhere to any religious belief. An inmate may request a diet based on religious requirements.
