Supreme Court rules Rastafari man can’t sue Louisiana prison officials who cut his dreadlocks

The Supreme Court ruled that Damon Landor, a Rastafari man, cannot sue Louisiana prison officials who cut his dreadlocks against his religious beliefs. The court held that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act does not permit lawsuits for monetary damages, even when inmates' rights are violated. Louisiana stated it has updated its prison grooming policy to prevent similar incidents.
