Prisons — religious practices

Rufus West, also known as Muslim Mansa Lutalo Iyapo, appeals an order denying his petition for writ of certiorari. On appeal, West challenges the Department of Corrections’ dismissal of his inmate complaints, which alleged that the department improperly denied him the opportunity to participate in Islamic congregational study and prayer and confiscated religious clothing in violation of state law and the department’s own policies. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the order of the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
