An inmate is suing the Utah Department of Corrections for denying him his right to practice an ancient Nordic religion while behind bars. [...]
In the lawsuit, Polk says he has been a member of the Asatru faith since 2005, and in order to properly practice it he needs items including: a Thor's Hammer, a prayer cloth, a Mead Horn used for drinking Wassail, a drum made of wood and boar skin, a rune staff and a sword.
We call this a free country and our prisoners can't even have Mead Horns and rune staffs?!
Niiiiiiice.
