Abstract

The article focuses on the intersection of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) with the issue of religious freedom for death row inmates, particularly in relation to access to spiritual advisors during executions. Topics include the Supreme Court's recent decision in Ramirez v. Collier, which held that Texas's policy of preventing a death row inmate's pastor from praying with and touching him during his execution likely violated RLUIPA.
