Sikhs Like New Vermont Prison Guidelines

The current issue of India New England discusses the satisfaction of the Sikh community with the new religious guidelines issued by the Vermont Department of Corrections. Directive 380.01, which became effective February 4, contains a lengthy section on religious head coverings, explicitly mentioning the turban along with a number of others. Sikhism is one of the religions specifically listed on the inmate religious preference designation form. (See prior related posting.)
