"New York Prison Inmates Granted Eclipse Viewing Opportunity"

Inmates at New York's Woodbourne Correctional Facility will be allowed to view the solar eclipse after a lawsuit was filed by six inmates arguing that denying them the right to see the eclipse would violate their religious rights. The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has entered into a binding settlement agreement to allow the inmates to view the eclipse in accordance with their religious beliefs, and the lawsuit has been withdrawn.
