Damon Landor suffered one of the most blatant and obvious violations of his religious liberty imaginable.
Landor is Rastafarian and, as part of his religious devotion, does not cut his hair. According to his lawyers, he kept this vow for more than two decades, and his hair grew long enough to fall “nearly to his knees.” Then, while he was serving a five-month prison sentence for a drug-related crime in 2020, prison officials handcuffed him to a chair, held him down, and shaved his head.
