Yep. If you do one, you should do all. Freedom of religion!

a need for Wiccan services within prisons, noting there must be enough demand

Like that's a good thing. I wonder what they're in for.

Yes, and let's set all the christian prisoners free so they can go on a mission!!!

Or we cuold just see this as an innocent excersise of freedom of religion in a place that has very few freedoms. Seriously, if you can get upset over this you're trying waaay too hard.

I don't see the problem. If your country is going to provide religious guidance to inmates then include the Wiccans if you've got Wiccan inmates. Ditto for Zorastrians, Rastafarians, etc.

Agreed! I would think there are other things in this world to have a fit about other than inmates getting spiritual guidance.

Isn't a loss of freedoms part of the plan in prison?

Why is that important?

There are many inmates who have suddenly "found God" and "are a different person now" compared to who they were when they did what they did. Why is that fine, but ANY other religion is not?

That is plain bullshit and discriminatory.
