Pagan prisoners allowed twig wands in cells

News from Scotland . . .

PRISON officers have been ordered to allow Pagan prisoners to take twigs into their cells to use as magic wands.

The ruling has been announced as part of a prisons policy that requires Pagan prisoners to have the same rights as prisoners of other religions.

The new rules were drawn up with the help of the Pagan Federation, which advised the prison service on what equipment its members needed.
