Landor during his five-month prison term in 2020. When he entered the prison system, he carried a copy of an appeals court ruling in another inmate’s case holding that cutting religious prisoners’ dreadlocks violated the federal law.

At his first two stops, officials respected his beliefs. But things changed when he got to the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center in Cottonport, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Baton Rouge, for the final three weeks of his term.

A prison guard took the copy of the ruling Landor carried and tossed it in the trash, according to court records. Then the warden ordered guards to cut his dreadlocks. While two guards restrained him, a third shaved his head to the scalp, the records show.

Bro was only in there for five months, everyone else respected his beliefs, until he was sent to another facility for his last 3 weeks in detention. 3 fucking weeks, and they HAD to shave his fucking head? This reeks of racism. Godamn fuck 1312. ACAB gets extended to prison guard bitches too it seems.

This reeks of racism

Its the american prison industrial complex. Its foundation is basically built on it.

Its not shocking that his hair was cut.

Its shocking that he went through two places previously that didnt cut it.
