Noting these facts, incorporating the benefits of religious observance, coping skills and self-improvement becomes increasingly important to the inmate population, as well as society at large.

While behind prison walls, prisoners enjoy basic rights that are protected in law. It is true that they have fewer rights than law abiding citizens, but, never the less, they have essential human rights and civil liberties.
