Here at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction, we place
great importance on an individual’s constitutional right to practice
their religious beliefs. No inmate will be denied the free
exercise of his religious beliefs and liberty of worship according to
the dictates of his conscience (provided that such practices do not
threaten the safety, security, and orderly operation of the facility).
While no inmate is required or expected to attend any religious programs or services, neither will they be denied personal contact with accredited representative of his faith. Each religious group is encouraged to plan its own activities, using the appropriate facility resources. Religious activities include, but are not necessarily limited to, worship services, religious instruction, reading and study, religious discussion groups, and pastoral counseling. Furthermore, the facility shall provide religious diets for inmates whose religious beliefs require adherence to religious dietary laws. |
