A federal magistrate judge recommended a lawsuit dealing with an inmate's religion to go ahead with its proceedings. The lawsuit was against the state Corrections Departments concerning on the issue that the inmate couldn't observe Jewish holidays. Gordon Bock is the inmate's name. The judge stated that Bock have produce enough evidence for the courts to take a look at the case. Here is a little background of Gordon Bock. Bock was arrested, trialed and found guilty of "domestic assault, violation of an abuse-prevention order, attempted unlawful trespass and violation of conditions of release convictions." He was from Northfield. Now he is in his early fifties.
The case with Bock was that he argued the prison staff and the Correction officials refuse his request to practice his religion in these forms such as having a menorah for Hanukkah and having kosher foods for Passover. He said they violated the policies and denied his request which Bock discribed it as "minor requested accommodations." Actually, if the prison staff and the Correction officials had let him have the food, it would be free because a religious group would provide it. The food is part of a strict Jewish dietary restrictions that is suppose to partake during Passover. Now, Bock is seeking for justice. The prison department denied any of these allegations took place.
