Mr. Landor was prepared when he met the new prison officials, bringing a physical copy of a court decision that recognized a prisoner’s right to the same religious practice. Mr. Landor’s long hair had not been threatened in other institutions. The Supreme Court said – in its 6-3 decision – that those officers can’t be held liable in their personal capacity. Maybe the Department of Corrections learned a lesson from Mr. Landor’s lawsuit. She referred to a previous Supreme Court case that protected a Muslim prisoner’s right to wear a beard and the fact that prisons aren’t accommodating religious needs voluntarily.
