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

The Supreme Court ruled that a Rastafari man, Damon Landor, cannot sue Louisiana prison officials who cut his dreadlocks, violating his religious beliefs. The Court held that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act does not permit lawsuits for money damages against prison officials for such violations. Louisiana stated it has amended its prison grooming policy to prevent similar incidents.
