"Inmates Sue for Solar Eclipse Viewing Rights During Lockdown in New York Prisons"

Inmates in New York are suing the state corrections department for violating their constitutional rights by locking down prisons during the upcoming solar eclipse, preventing them from participating in a religiously significant event. The lawsuit, filed by six men with varying religious backgrounds, argues that the lockdown infringes on their right to practice their faiths. The inmates seek permission to view the eclipse, citing its religious significance, but the department's holiday schedule restricts their movement during the eclipse's peak viewing time.
