The so-called "settlement" is BOGUS! There is NO ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS & the Court will lose Jurisdiction over the entire matter once the parties sign the "agreement", which means CCA or CoreCivic can now go back to how things were previously without fear of consequences. Should CoreCivic go back to denying Hawaii prisoners their right to practice their native Hawaiian rights, the prisoners would have to launch a whole new litigation.

In 2003, NHLC initiated another so-called "settlement", for the exact same issues. Back then the same "song of victory" was played by NHLC as Ms. Manley, in Oklahoma. Here's the thing though, when Hawaii prisoners were transferred to Arizona, CCA claimed that the Oklahoma settlement had no bearing on Arizona & was unenforceable! Even though it was Hawaii's prisoners in a CCA facility in Oklahoma who were transferred to Arizona!

In the end, CCA or "CoreCivic" gets to go back to doing business as usual, while NHLC gets to collect $90 grand for selling out!
