"Inmates in New York to Witness Historic Total Solar Eclipse Following Lawsuit Settlement"

Six New York inmates sued the state corrections department after it decided to lock down prisons during the upcoming total solar eclipse, claiming it infringed on their religious rights. The inmates, with varying religious beliefs and convictions, reached a settlement with the department, allowing them to view the eclipse in accordance with their sincerely held religious beliefs. The lockdown decision was issued in March, affecting all prisons in New York, and the next solar eclipse will take place in 2044.
