RLUIPA provides protection for religious liberty in two very different settings. First, it protects the rights of religious individuals and institutions to use land for religious purposes, such as places of worship and religious schools. Second, it protects the rights of persons confined to institutions, such as prisons or jails, state-run psychiatric hospitals, or nursing homes, to exercise their faiths.
