Supreme Court rules that Rastafarian ex-inmate cannot sue the Louisiana prison officials who cut off his dreadlocks
The United States Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a former Louisiana inmate could not sue prison officials who cut off his dreadlocks for violating his Rastafari religious beliefs. In its decision, the Court held that individual correctional officers cannot be held personally liable for violations of federal law unless they themselves have agreed to be subject to such lawsuits.
