Ill. Admin. Code tit. 20, § 425.30 - Accommodation of Religious Beliefs
a) Committed persons shall be provided
reasonable opportunities to pursue their religious beliefs and practices
subject to concerns regarding security, safety, rehabilitation, institutional
order, space, and resources.
b)
Participation in or attendance at religious activities shall be
voluntary.
c) Committed persons
shall not pressure or coerce other persons to join or participate in the
activities of a particular religion.
d) Committed persons shall not engage in
religious activities which may encourage violence against others or are likely
to disrupt institutional safety or operations.
e) Committed persons shall be requested to
designate their religious affiliation during the orientation process. Such
designation of religious affiliation does not constitute endorsement or
recognition of that religion by the Department.
f) Committed persons may only attend the
religious activities of their designated religion or non-denominational
religious activities, except as provided in subsection (g) of this Section
pursuant to Section
425.60.
g) Committed persons requesting to attend a
religious activity of a faith other than their designated faith shall submit
their written request to the facility chaplain who will determine whether their
attendance at the activity can be accommodated based on factors such as
security, safety, rehabilitation, institutional order, space, and
resources.
h) Committed persons
desiring to designate their religious affiliation after the orientation process
or to change their designated religious affiliation shall submit the written
request to the facility chaplain. The facility chaplain may refuse to change
the affiliation if it is determined that the change is being requested for
other than religious reasons. This determination may be based, among other
matters, on the frequency of changes or a pattern of changing religious
affiliation prior to a particular faith group's scheduled holiday or
celebration.
