By Howard Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Hanas v. Inner City Christian Outreach, Inc., 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15472 (ED MI, Feb. 29, 2008) is a suit in federal district court in Michigan in which Joseph Hanas, who pled guilty to possession of marijuana, challenged a court's placement of him in a faith-based rehabilitation program operated by Inner City Christian Outreach (ICCO). ICCO staff prevented Hanas from practicing Catholicism and forced him to participate in Pentecostal worship and Bible studies. The suit sought a declaratory judgment and damages against ICCO, its pastor, a Drug Court social worker and a Drug Court consultant. The court held that most of the defendants were liable for Establishment Clause and Free Exercise violations.
