The Supreme Court will hear arguments Monday in the case of a Rastafarian man who brought charges against a Louisiana prison for shaving his dreadlocks, accusing correction center officials of encroaching on his religious freedoms.

Damon Landor sued the Louisiana Department of Corrections after prison officials at the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center cut his dreadlocks, which are partly inspired by the Nazirite vow described in Numbers 6:5, which instructs those who take the vow to “let the locks of the hair of his head grow.” When the vow was completed, it was traditional to shave the head at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
