Who are the other faith based groups? MUSLIM ADVOCATES! NATIONAL COUNCIL ON JEWISH WOMEN!

The First Amendment ends at the prison door.
As a prisoner, he cannot cite the First Amendment to hold a press conference or to start a newspaper or internet blog.
furthermore, while in prison, he cannot claim his Second Amendment right to have a firearm.
