A new report says that Native American inmates were subjected to group strip searches before and after sweat-lodge ceremonies at the private Crossroads Correctional Center in Shelby; but the Department of Corrections said the findings do not indicate a problem of discrimination.
The lengthy report stems from complaints of discrimination at the prison that have culminated in an ongoing human rights complaint from The American Civil Liberties Union.
