Satanist Inmate Filed Lawsuit
Posted: Thursday, February 19th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
A prison inmate who claims that he is a practising Satanist has filed a federal lawsuit after claiming that prison employees interfered with his religious practices after they confiscated a medallion that he claims is a protective symbol in his religion.
Jason Paul Indreland is serving three years at the Yellowstone County State Prison, after being jailed for possession of drugs. He has filed a lawsuit seeking ten million dollars, according to reports, and the lawsuit claims that prison staff would not return the medallion, nor would they allow the inmate access to a “Satanic Bible or Book of Satanic Rituals”.
Officials from the jail are also accused of placing “Christian greeting cards under (his) cell door” which claimed that “Jesus was ready to save and accept him”.The lawsuit was originally filed last March by the inmate, who said he has been practising Satanism for a decade.
In addition to the claims of religious interference, the lawsuit also claims that Indreland was denied medical care for his drug addiction, and that he suffered harassment and retaliation whilst he was in prison.
