Judge orders Iowa to dismantle prison faith program
A federal judge ruled Iowa violated the Constitution by funding the InnerChange Freedom Initiative at Newton Correctional Facility. The 60 day order requires disbanding the program and 1.5 million in state funds repaid, with appeals pending. The decision challenges the White House faith based initiative and could affect similar programs nationwide. The ruling named Prison Fellowship Ministries and Americans United for Separation of Church and State as key parties.

Experts urge focus on comfort and dignity, noting difficulty predicting death timing.
