    Supreme Court rules Rastafari man can't sue Louisiana prison guards who forcibly cut his dreadlocks

    The Supreme Court ruled that a Rastafari man cannot sue Louisiana prison guards for forcibly cutting his dreadlocks, stating a federal law protecting inmates' religious rights does not permit lawsuits for monetary damages. The court acknowledged the violation but agreed with lower courts that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act cannot hold prison officials financially liable.
