Nebraska prison rescinds temporary ban on access to outdoor space for Native American religious practices after lawsuit

Nebraska State Penitentiary rescinded the 60-day ban on outdoor access for Native American religious practices hours before a federal court hearing.
The policy had barred inmates from the outdoor space for 60 days due to a contraband concern.
The ACLU of Nebraska and Big Fire Law & Policy Group filed the federal lawsuit on behalf of two Native American inmates.
Approximately 60 inmates in the Native American Faith Group were affected by the access suspension, per the ACLU.
Warden indicated security measures accompany the resumption of the Native American land use schedule.
The lawsuit remains pending in federal court, with the hearing potentially rescheduled if needed.
