County prisoners will no longer perform work at churches after the American Civil Liberties Union complained about mixing religion and rehabilitation. The ACLU complained to Sheriff Joe Pelle after a neighbor saw a prison crew doing landscape work at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Church in downtown Boulder this summer. "When prisoners do work for a church, as is the case here, government improperly provides a financial benefit to religion, and taxpayer funds are improperly expended to transport and supervise inmate workers," the ACLU said in a July 27 letter to Pelle. |
