NOTE

1. The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment has not found much traction in prison religion cases, despite the United States Supreme Court's holding otherwise in Cruz v. Beto (1972)Google Scholar. Apparently, this is because of the courts' over-reliance on the fact that religious practices in various religions are not the same. Consequently, they have not extended Equal Protection to address equity among religious accommodations in prisons (yet).
