Supreme Court rules pay for prison chaplains legal
The Iowa Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision upheld state salaries for chaplains at the Iowa State Penitentiary. The ruling reversed a Lee County District Court finding that payments violated the Iowa Constitution and First Amendment concerns. Justices said aiding inmates' religious exercise is permissible and that government neutrality toward religion is maintained. Dissenters argued tax funds should not fund chaplains. Prior payroll totaled 25,000 in annual salaries for two full-time and 216 a month for a part-time chaplain.
