Las Cruces

Bernard Pritchard, a prison inmate at the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility in Las Cruces, N.M., is claiming he is being discriminated against. He says he is not being afforded the necessary means to practice his religion of Satanism and is suing to secure that, according to KRQE-TV and The Santa Fe Reporter.

After morning radio at 99.5 The Rocket, we checked into the Las Cruces, N.M., hotel at 10 a.m. I called the front desk and explained to the girl that we were a rock band that had nowhere to go until 3 p.m. check-in. She had the housekeeping staff clean our rooms first to get us right in.
