A press release issued by Americans United for Separation of Church and State today stated that a proposed "Christian" prison in Wakita, Oklahoma , could not be supported with public funds without violating the separation of church and state mandated by the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution .

It's going to stop the merry-go-round,a said Bill Robinson, the man with the idea behind the faith-based prison.

Several states have units or programs with a Christian theme, but the proposed prison in Wakita, Okla., would have an all-Christian staff, too.

A 24-year-old Wakita man has died in what the Oklahoma Highway Patrol says was an alcohol-related crash in far northwestern Oklahoma.
