Damon Landor says his religious rights were violated under a law called the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.

The Supreme Court announced it will take up the case of a devout Rastafarian whose dreadlocks were forcibly shaved by Louisiana prison guards.

Damon Landor, whose faith requires him to let his hair grow long, said guards threw a court ruling in the trash before holding him down and shaving his head to the scalp.
