Heck, ship him to the Mariposa County jail, he'll sweat plenty there.

Turn the heat up in the gas chamber when they execute him.

I wonder when a "descendant" of the Aztecs will demand a virgin to sacrafice as part of their culture and religious freedom.

Next: We will have to pay to have inmates on death row shipped to Saudi to perform their Hajj...

I'd say this murderer will be able to sweat plenty where's he's going. It's VERY hot there...

ST. LOUIS -- A federal appeals panel has restored a Missouri inmate's lawsuit demanding religious use of an American Indian sweat lodge, suggesting that the imprisoned killer perhaps deserved more time to make his case.

The ACLU needs to file a separation of church and state lawsuit here. The Government can't pay for religious trappings.

I have been to several sweats*. It can be a powerful and moving spiritual experience. Until you have been to one, don't knock it. There is a lot of healing that goes on during and immediately after a good "sweat."*

I am all for prisoners (of ANY religious persuasion) having access to a sweat* lodge.

Inipi = sweat lodge
