Michigan's Prison system has been ordered to recognize Christian Identity as a religious group, allowing inmates to hold services, despite concerns that their belief in the separation of races could pose a security threat. Two inmates sued the Corrections Department under a federal law that protects the religious freedom of people confined to prison. Christian Identity followers believe white people are God’s chosen people. The Anti-Defamation League says the ideology is a key belief for white supremacists and anti-government movements. The appeals court said prison staff would typically be present to monitor services.
