As long as they don't get dark glasses to watch, I'm good with them being allowed to see it.

The world is acting so panicky and dramatic about the eclipse. It isn’t religious. But the state is being childish. Let the convicts see it and maybe enjoy it. Just act like it’s night time for 4 minutes. Hell, maybe one of those spuds will get introspective.
They are all going to be walking the street again someday. The less gratuitous contempt they are shown in prison the better for us when they hit the streets again someday.

They’re locking down prisons for an eclipse?! How odd. And several states along its path have declared a state of emergency. Hmmm.

It’s modern extremist government. EVERYTHING is a dire menace requiring mobilization and activating emergency procedures.

No. There is nothing in Christianity requiring anyone to watch this.

Yeah.
It’s weird how panicky they are being.
Almost like they have something planned.
But if they don’t, it speaks to magical thinking and neopaganist mentality.

It looks like this prison is well outside the path of totality. I agree, let them out in the yard to watch the partial eclipse if they want to. As for taking them on some sort of excursion to see the total eclipse, forget it. I’m sure it’ll be on TV.

I hope it’s cloudy ☁️ that day

As I understand they have restricted rights to the extent that they are allowed to have them, the only unalterable rights are to eat, breathe, personal hygiene and a place to sleep and obviously health to the extent possible.
To: Blurb2350
How about the religious rights of victims to keep these law breakers locked up for the duration of their sentence.

When are they going to figure out to simply claim their religion requires them to commit crime?

Just lock them in a dark closet for ten minutes and call it good.
