I don't think allowing one prison for those of faith - by option - to go to is "establishing religion." Especially since any faith seems to be acceptable. The one concern I have is that over time this may become predominantly one religion over another, and that particular religious classes may be instituted. Believe it or not, considering the amount of black males in the prison system and their proclivity for adopting Islam, I am not so concerned that the one predominant religion at the prison would be Christian. However, any particular religion gaining predominance in any way that can be seen as being "pushed" by the government WOULD cross the line of "establishing religion."
