Lawyers for Arkansas inmates say prisoners should have the right to wear their hair as long as they want it. A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of inmates who are members of a religious organization called the Assemblies of Yahweh. These inmates say their religion requires members to wear long hair. The Department of Corrections disagrees, claiming inmates could hide weapons and contraband in their hair. The suit also asks the prison to provide Kosher meals, claiming that's also a requirement of the religion. |
